Question

Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg  and m2 = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The object m1 is held at rest on the floor, and m2 rests on a fixed incline of ? = 41.0

Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The object m1 is held at rest on the floor, and m2 rests on a fixed incline of ? = 41.0 degree. The objects are released from rest, and m2 slides 1.80 m down the slope of the incline in 4.60 s. Determine the acceleration of each object. (Enter the magnitude only.) m/s2 Determine the tension in the string. (Enter the magnitude only.) N Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between m2 and the incline.

Explanation / Answer

By s = ut + 1/2at^2
=>1.10 = 0 + 1/2 x a x (4.70)^2
=>a = 9.96 x 10^-2 m/s^2
Let the floor of plane is frictionless, friction between m2 & incline surface is
