Question

Unless otherwise stated, all objects are located near the Earth's surface, where

g = 9.80 m/s2.
In the ideal setup shown in the figure (Figure 1) , m1 = 3.3kg and m2 = 2.3kg .

What is the magnitude of the accelerations of the masses?  a=      m/s^2

What is the tension in the string? T=        N

Unless otherwise stated, all objects are located near the Earth's surface, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In the ideal setup shown in the figure (Figure 1) , m1 = 3.3kg and m2 = 2.3kg . What is the magnitude of the accelerations of the masses? a= m/s^2 What is the tension in the string? T= N

Explanation / Answer

sum forces

m2 g - m1 g sin theta = (m1 + m2) a

2.3*9.8 - 3.3*9.8*sin(37) = (2.3+3.3)*a

a=0.55 m/s^2

for block 2
m2g - T = m2 a

T = m2g - m2a = 2.3*(9.8-0.55)=21.28 N
