The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relative acceleration of the second particle with respect to the first, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the angles and the gravitational acceleration components - We have two particles sliding down two different inclined wires. The first particle is on a wire inclined at \(30^\circ\) to the vertical, and the second particle is on a wire inclined at \(60^\circ\) to the vertical. - The gravitational acceleration acting on both particles is \(g\). ### Step 2: Calculate the acceleration of each particle - For the first particle (Particle 1) inclined at \(30^\circ\): \[ A_1 = g \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = g \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - For the second particle (Particle 2) inclined at \(60^\circ\): \[ A_2 = g \cdot \cos(60^\circ) = g \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for relative acceleration - The relative acceleration of Particle 2 with respect to Particle 1 is given by: \[ A_{21} = A_2 - A_1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values of \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) - Now substituting the values we calculated: \[ A_{21} = \left( g \cdot \frac{1}{2} \right) - \left( g \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) \] - This simplifies to: \[ A_{21} = g \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = g \cdot \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of the relative acceleration - The magnitude of the relative acceleration can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem since the two accelerations are acting at an angle: \[ |A_{21}| = \sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 - 2A_1A_2 \cos(\theta)} \] - Here, \(\theta\) is the angle between the two acceleration vectors, which is \(30^\circ\) (the difference between \(60^\circ\) and \(30^\circ\)). ### Step 6: Substitute the values into the formula - Substituting the values: \[ |A_{21}| = \sqrt{\left(g \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 + \left(g \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - 2 \left(g \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \left(g \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right) \cos(30^\circ)} \] - This becomes: \[ |A_{21}| = \sqrt{\frac{3g^2}{4} + \frac{g^2}{4} - 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}g^2}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \] - Simplifying further: \[ |A_{21}| = \sqrt{\frac{3g^2}{4} + \frac{g^2}{4} - \frac{3g^2}{8}} \] - Combine the terms: \[ |A_{21}| = \sqrt{\frac{4g^2}{4} - \frac{3g^2}{8}} = \sqrt{g^2 - \frac{3g^2}{8}} = \sqrt{\frac{8g^2}{8} - \frac{3g^2}{8}} = \sqrt{\frac{5g^2}{8}} = g \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}} \] ### Final Result The magnitude of the relative acceleration of the second particle with respect to the first is: \[ |A_{21}| = \frac{g \sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{g \sqrt{10}}{4} \]
