Concept explainers
(a)
The tension (T) in the rope.
(a)
Answer to Problem 107A
Explanation of Solution
Given that, Masses of the two blocks are
The required diagram is shown above.
Where, g is gravitational acceleration,
Since
And
So, from the figure, for 2 kg mass,
And, for
Now, by adding these equations
This is the expression of acceleration for both of the block, because they are moving with same acceleration
And, by subtracting the second equation from first one we get the expression of tension T,
Substitute the values and solve:
Conclusion is, The tension of the rope will be
(b)
The acceleration of the blocks.
(b)
Answer to Problem 107A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Masses of the two blocks are
Calculation:
From the figure, determine two equations for two blocks of mass
And,
Acceleration a is:
Substitute the values and solve:
Conclusion:
So, the acceleration of the blocks is
