A 2 kg mass placed on a level table and is attached by a string passing over the edge of a table as illustrated in the diagram. (i) Calculate the magnitude of acceleration of the system. (ii) Calculate the tension in the string. |
Answer» From FBD in `m_(1)` `T-m_(1)a=0` `implies T-2a=0`……(i) FBD in `m_(2)` `m_(2)g-T=m_(2)a` `5g-T=5a` Putting T=2a from Eq. (i) 5g-2a=5a 7a=5g `a=(5)/(7)xx10=(50)/(7) ms^(-2)` Again Tension in the string `T=2a=2xx(50)/(7)=(10)/(7) N` |
