Question

(1) How does the tension acting on m2 compare with the weight of m2? HINT: Newton's 2nd Law!
(a) |[(F)ec]T| = m2g
(b) Cannot determine unless we know if m1 is greater than, less than, or equal to m2.
(c) |[(F)ec]T| <  m2g
(d) |[(F)ec]T| >  m2g

(2) How does the magnitude of the tension acting on m1 compare with the weight of m2?
(a)|[(F)ec]T| <  m2g
(b)|[(F)ec]T| = m2g
(c)|[(F)ec]T| >  m2g
(d) Cannot determine unless we know if m1 is greater than, less than, or equal to m2.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

as the blocks will be in motion

and the block m2 will be accelerting downwards

m2 * g - Tension = m2 * a

as a is positive hence ,

m2 * g - Tension > 0

m2 * g > Tension

the correct option is (c) |[(F)ec]T| < m2 g

as the tension in the rops is same

2)

the magnitude of the tension acting on m1 compare with the weight of m2 is also

(a)|[(F)ec]T| < m2 g
