Answer

$T_1=1.20N;T_2=0.2153N;m=21.9g$

Work Step by Step

We can find $T_1, T_2$ and $m$ as follows: The force acting on the yo-yo as $T_1-T_2=Mg$.....eq(1) The net torque is given as $T_1r-T_2R=0$ $T_1r=T_2R$ $T_1r=T_2(5.60r)$ $T_1=5.60T_2$......eq(2) We plug in this value in eq(1) to obtain: $5.60T_2-T_2=Mg$ $T_2(5.60-1)=Mg$ This simplifies to: $T_2=\frac{Mg}{4.60}$ $T_2=\frac{(0.101Kg)(9.81m/s^2)}{4.60}$ $T_2=0.2153N$ From eq(1) $T_1=5.060(0.2153N)$ $T_1=1.20N$ Now the mass can be determined as $m=\frac{T_2}{g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=\frac{0.2153N}{9.8m/s^2}$ $m=0.0219Kg$ $m=21.9g$
