Two masses m(1) and m(2) are connected ...

Two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are connected with a string passing over a frictionless pulley fixed at the corner of the table as shown in the the coefficent of static friction of mass `m_(1)` with the table is `mu_(s)` calculate the minium mass `m_(3)` that may be placed on `m_(1)` to prevent it from sliding check if `m_(1)=15 kg m_(2)=10kg , mm_(3)=25` and `mu_(s)=0.2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here Tension ,
`T= F_(f) = m_(2) g`
`T= mu_(s) (m_(1)+ m_(3))g`
`mu_(s) (m_(1) + m_(3)) g= m_(2)g`
`m_(3) = (m_(2) -mu , m_(1))/( mu)`
`m_(3)= (m_(2))/(mu) = m_(1)`

If two masses m_1 and m_2 (m_1 gt m_2) tied to string moving over a frictionless pulley, then acceleration of masses

Two masses m_1 = 5 kg and m_2 = 4 kg tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of each mass when left free to move? (g =9.8ms^(2))

Two bodies of masses 7 kg and 5 kg are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley at the edge of the table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the surfaces (body and table) is 0.9. Will the mass m_1 = 7 kg on the surface move? If not what value of m_2 should be used so that mass 7 kg begins to slide on the table?

Three blocks of masses m_1, m_2 and m_3 are connected as shown in the figure. All the surfaces are frictionless and the string and the pulleys are light. Find the acceleration of m_1
