I'm trying to solve a problem where i have those three equations:
$TR= \frac{Ia}{R}$,
$mg-T = ma$,
I know that $I=\frac{7}{2}MR^2 $
I need to find the variable $a$. The solution of the problem says that:
$$a= \frac{2mg}{7M+2m}$$
I know that to find $a$ i need to solve a system, but i don't understand how it got to that solution. Can someone guide me through the step to get to that solution?
$T = (mg-ma) = m(g-a)$
and $I = \frac{7MR^2}{2}$
So, $TR = \frac{Ia}{R} \implies TR^2 = Ia \implies m(g-a){R^2} = \frac{7}{2}MR^2a$
$\implies 2mg-2ma = {7M}a\implies a (2m+{7M}) = 2mg $
