Pulley example 1

The video tutorial explains how to find the angular acceleration of a pulley system with two masses. It begins by introducing the problem and assumptions, such as a frictionless bearing and moment of inertia. A free body diagram is drawn to identify forces, including tension and reaction forces. Newton's laws are applied to set up equations, which are then solved to find the angular acceleration. The tutorial concludes with the final solution and emphasizes the importance of using multiple formulas and solving equations simultaneously.
