Expalin the motion of blocks connected by a string (i) verticla motion (ii) Horizontal motion

Answer»

Solution : Verticalmotion : Let us considertwoblocksof masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2) (m_(1) gtm_(2))`connectedby alightandinextensiblestringthatpassesovera pulley

Let thetensionin thestringbe Tand ACCELERATION aWhenthe systemisreleasedboth theblocksboth thestartmoving`m_(2)`verticallyupwardwithsameaccelerationa. The gravitationalforce `m_(1)`gon MASS `m_(1)` is usedto lift the mass `m_(2)`
theupwarddirection is selectedas YDIRECTION. the free bodydiagrams ofbothmasses.

Horizontal motion : in this case mass `m_(2)` is kept on a horizontal table and mass `m_(1)`is hanging through a smalll pulley it is assumed that there is no friction on the surface

As both the blocks are connectedto the unstrechable stringif `m_(1)` moves with an acclereation a downward athen `m_(2)`also moves iwth the same acceleration a horizontally
The forces acting on mass `m_(2)`are
(i) horizontal tension (T) exerted by the string
(ii) upward normal force (N) exerted by the surface
(III) Downard normal gravitational force `(m_(2)g)`
The forces acting on mass `m_(1)` are
(i)Tension (T) acting upwards
(ii) Downward gravitational force `(m_(1)g)` the free body diagrams for both the masses is
