Note that all the accelerations are less than g and that all terms in the denominator are positive. This is
true, in general, for all pulley problems.

Note that angular momentum is not conserved in this problem as external torques are acting on
the system. The external torques are due to the external forces which are required to keep the
wheels in translational equilibrium.
