Question

Please show each step and explain so i can rate it faster.

An Atwoods machine consists of blocks of masses m1 = 10.0 kg and m2 = 20.0 kg attached by a cord running over a pulley as shown. The pulley is a solid cylinder with mass M = 8.00 kg and radius r = 0.2 m. The block of mass m2 is allowed to drop, and the cord turns the pulley without slipping. (a) Why must the tension T2 be greater than the tension T1? (b) What is the acceleration of the system, assuming the pulley axis is frictionless? (c) Find the tensions T1 and T2?

Explanation / Answer

force on m1=m1g=10g
force on m2=m2g=20g

since both of them are connected by a cord
both exerts their weight in upward direction
T2 must be greater than T1 unless m2 will not move in downward direction
