Question

a text book of mass 2.10 kg rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter is 0.200 m, to a hanging book with mass 3.00 kg. The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move a distance 1.15 m over a time interval of 0.830 s. What is the tension in the part of the cord attached to the text book? a text book of mass 2.10 kg rests on a frictionless horizontal surface.

Explanation / Answer

First we can find the acceleration

Apply d = vot + 0.5at2

1.15 = 0 + (0.5)(a)(0.83)2

a = 3.34 m/s2

The apply to sum of forces for the horizontal book

T1 = ma

T1 = (2.10)(3.34) = 7.01 N
