Question

Two objects having masses m 1 and m 2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension T in the string just after the objects are released?

Two objects having masses exttip{m}{m}1 and exttip{m}{m}2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension exttip{T}{T} in the string just after the objects are released?

T > m 2g.

Choose from the options and explain.

T < m 2g T = m 2g T = m 1g T > m 1g

T > m 2g.

Choose from the options and explain.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,for the case without friciton

here ,

T = m1 * a

m2*g - T = m2*a

solving for T

T = m1*m2*g/(m1+m2)

therefore ,

m1*g > T

m2*g >T

therefore ,     T < m2*g
