Dynamics of a solid body

Problem 1.259

In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.65 a weight AA possesses mass mm. a pulley BB possesses mass MM. Also known are the moment of inertia II of the pulley relative to its axis and the radii of the pulley RR and 2R.2 R . The mass of the threads is negligible. Find the acceleration of the weight AA after the system is set free.
