Question

Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg and 7.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. (a) Determine the tension in the string. 4.2 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. N (b) Determine the acceleration of each object. 0.4 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s2 (c) Determine the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest. 0.2 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m

Explanation / Answer

Acceleration of each object

b)a = (m1-m2)*g/m1+m2 =3.924 m/s^2

Tension in the string

a) T=3(a+g)=41.202 N
