http://i28.tinypic.com/t7gz89.jpg Q.1) Consider the case where m_1 and m_2 are both nonzero, and m_2 > m_1. Let T_1 be the magnitude of the tension in the rope connected to the block of mass m_1, and let T_2 be the magnitude of the tension in the rope connected to the block of mass m_2. Which of the following statements is true? -T_1 is always equal to T_2. -T_2 is greater than T_1 by an amount independent of velocity. -T_2 is greater than T_1 but the difference decreases as the blocks increase in velocity. -There is not enough information to determine the relationship between T_1 and T_2. Finally, suppose m_1 ->infinity, while m_2 remains finite. What value does the the magnitude of the tension approach? ......................................... Answer t_1 is always equal to T_2 because the rope is connected directly to both blocks. The value of the magnitude of the tension approaches 2 m_2g while m_1 goes to infinity and m_2 remains finite. Imagining what would happen if one or more of the variables approached infinity is often a good way to investigate the behavior of a system. remember this one..
