The two blocks (4 .0 kg and 2.0kg )are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley.The pulley is 12 cm in diametre and has a mass of 2.0kg. As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50 Nm. If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.0 kg block to reach the floor?(2.0kg block is originally on the floor and 4.0 kg was 1.0 m away from the floor)

I will solve this question in a general way, ie, everything symbolic, and then plug the numbers back.

Let m1 be 2kg mass,
m2 be 4kg mass,
M be mass of the pulley = 2 kg,
T1 be tension on m1,
T2 be tension on m2,
TauF be frictional torque = 0.5 Nm,
Tau be the net torque on the pulley,
R be radius of the pulley = 6 cm,
I be moment of iniertia of the pulley
a be the acceleration,
Alpha be the angular acceleration of the pulley,
h be the distance from ground of m2 = 1 m

Step 1: write down the three equations for m1, m2 and M.

The equations for m1 and m2 is obviously given by:
T1 - m1 g = m1 a ------------------------(1)
m2 g - T2 = m2 a ------------------------(2)
For the pulley, clockwise torque = T2 R
anti-clockwise torque = T1 R + TauF
So, net torque is given by: Tau = (T2 - T1)R - TauF
Since Tau = I alpha, so , we have the equation of the pulley given by:
(T2 - T1)R - TauF = I alpha
(T2 - T1)R^2 - TauF R = I a ----------------------(3) because a = R alpha

Don't be confused by all the above symbols. Keep calm. Among all the symbols in the three equations, only T1, T2 and a are unknowns. All other are known constants. Now we have three linear equations in three unkowns. We can solve them.

============================================================

Step 2: Solve the 3 equations in 3 unknowns.

This step is simply f.3 algebra and so I will not show the steps explicitly. The result for acceleration, a, is given by:
a=(m2 g R^2 - m1 g R^2 - TauF R)/(m2 R^2 + m1 R^2 +I)
=(m2 g R^2 - m1 g R^2 - TauF R)/(m2 R^2 + m1 R^2 + 0.5 M R^2)
because the moment of iniertia for a circular disc is I = 0.5 M R^2.
So,
a = (m2 g - m1 g - TauF/R)/(m2 + m1 + 0.5 M) -------------------(4)

============================================================

Step 3: Find out the time needed for m2 to reach ground.

Using the equations of motion for constant acceleration, h = ut + 0.5 at^2, and that u =0 as the masses are released from rest, we have the result:
t = sqrt(2 h / a), where sqrt means square root. Plug the a obtained from step 2, we get:
t = sqrt[ 2h (m1 + m2 + M/2) / (m2 g - m1 g - TauF/R) ]

============================================================

Step 4: Plug back numbers.

In fact, I myself would regard the above as answer. But if you need numbers, plug it back.
t = 1.11 sec. I used g=9.8 ms^-2

============================================================
