Determine the acceleration of the `5 kg` block `A` . Neglect the mass of the pulley and cords . The block `B` has a mass of `10 kg`, The coefficient of kinetic friction between block `B` and the surface is `mu _(k) = 0.1` (take `g = 10 m//s^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Soppose `T` be the tension in the string attached to block `B` . Then tension in the string connected to block `A` would be `4 T`

Similarly, if a be the acceleration of block `B` towards right will be `4 a`
Equation of motion are
For block `A , m_(A) g - 4 T = m_(A) a`
or ` 50 - 4 T = 5 a` ...(i)
For block `B T - f = 10 (4 a)`
or `T- (0.1) (10) (10) = 40 a`
or `T- 10 = 40 a`
Solving Eqs, (i) and (ii), we get
`a = (2)/(33) m//s^(2)`

Block A has a mass 3kg and is sliding on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity u_A=2m//s when it makes a direct collision with block B, which has a mass of 2kg and is originally at rest. The collision is perfectly elastic. Determine the velocity of each block just after collision and the distance between the blocks when they stop sliding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the plane is mu_k=0.3 ( Take g=10m//s^2 )

If the mass of the block A = 10 kg and the coefficient of static and kinetic friction is 0.2, then the mass of block B to start the motion is
