$A$ uniformly thick wheel with moment of inertia $I$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its centre of mass (see fig). $A$ massless string is wrapped over its rim and two blocks of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ $(m_{1} > m_{2})$ are attached to the ends of the string. The system is released from rest. The angular speed of the wheel when $m_{1}$ descends by a distance $h$ is
