Homework Statement
A block of mass m1 = 2 kg rests on a table with which it has a coefficient of friction µ = 0.75. A string attached to the block passes over a pulley to a block of mass m3 = 4 kg. The pulley is a uniform disk of mass m2 = 0.5 kg and radius 15 cm. As the mass m3 falls, the string does not slip on the pulley.
With what acceleration does m3 fall?

Frictional Force = mew x normal
F = MA
Newtons' second law
The Attempt at a Solution
If I could treat the pulley as a point and didn't have to pay attention to it this would be a cinch. To be honest, I don't know what to do with it at all, and I'm looking for some conceptual help here.
