Find the acceleration of blocks and tension in the cord in the device shown in fig. Assume no friction anywhere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Newton's second law

`4g sin 30-T=4a` …(i)
and `T=-1g=1a` ..(ii)
solving eqs (i) and (ii), we get
`a=2ms^(-2) and T=12N`
By shortcut Method:
`a=("Unbalanced load")/("Total mass")=(4g sin 30^(@)-1g)/(4+1)=2ms^(-2)`
`T=M_(up)(g+a)=1(10+2)=12N`.

Find the acceleration blocks in fig. The pulley and the string are massless.

Figure shows a uniform disk, with mass M = 2.5 kg and radius R = 20 cm, mounted on a fixed horizontal axle. A block with mass m = 1.2 kg hangs from a massless cord that is wrapped around the rim of the disk. Find the acceleration of the falling block, the angular acceleration of the disk, and the tension in the cord. The cord does not slip, and there is no friction at the axle.

Find the acceleration of the block of mass m in the arrangement shown in the following figures. The masses of the pulleys and the threads, as well as the friction are assumed to be negligible.

Figure 5-20 shows a block S (the sliding block) with mass M = 3.3 kg. The block is free to move along a horizontal frictionless surface and connected, by a cord that wraps over a frictionless pulley, to a second block H (the hanging block), with mass m = 2.1 kg. The cord and pulley have negligible masses compared to the blocks (they are "massless"). The hanging block H falls as the sliding block S accelerates to the right. Find (a) the acceleration of block S, (b) the acceleration of block H, and ( c ) the tension in the cord. Figure 5.20 A block S of mass M is connected to a block H of mass m by a cord that wraps over a pulley.
