The Answer of A mass m = 4.0 kg is connected, as shown, by a light cord to a mass M = 6.0 kg, which slides on a smooth horizontal surface. The pulley rotates about a frictionless axle and has a radius R = 0.12 m and a moment of inertia I = 0.090 kg.m². The cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of m? A)2.4 m/s2 B)2.8 m/s2 C)3.2 m/s2 D)4.2 m/s2 E)1.7 m/s2

A Mass M = 4
