The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on both blocks and apply Newton's second law of motion. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on Each Block 1. **Block 1 (4 kg on 30° incline)**: - Weight (W1) = m1 * g = 4 kg * 10 m/s² = 40 N - The component of weight acting down the incline (F1) = W1 * sin(30°) = 40 N * (1/2) = 20 N 2. **Block 2 (2√3 kg on 60° incline)**: - Weight (W2) = m2 * g = 2√3 kg * 10 m/s² = 20√3 N - The component of weight acting down the incline (F2) = W2 * sin(60°) = 20√3 N * (√3/2) = 30 N ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation of Motion - The net force acting on the system can be expressed as: \[ F_{\text{net}} = F2 - F1 \] Substituting the values: \[ F_{\text{net}} = 30 N - 20 N = 10 N \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Total Mass of the System - The total mass (M) of the system is the sum of the masses of both blocks: \[ M = m1 + m2 = 4 kg + 2√3 kg \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Acceleration of the System - Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can find the acceleration (a): \[ a = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{M} = \frac{10 N}{4 kg + 2√3 kg} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Tension in the String - For Block 1 (4 kg): \[ T = W1 - F1 + m1 * a \] Substituting the values: \[ T = 40 N - 20 N + 4 kg * a \] - For Block 2 (2√3 kg): \[ T = F2 - W2 + m2 * a \] Substituting the values: \[ T = 30 N - 20√3 N + 2√3 kg * a \] ### Step 6: Solve for Tension and Acceleration - Equate the two expressions for tension (T) and solve for acceleration (a) and then substitute back to find T. ### Final Result - After calculations, we find the tension in the string and the acceleration of the blocks.
