Question

The figure(Figure 1.) shows a block (mass mA ) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mB). which hangs vertically. Draw a free-body diagram for block A, showing the force of gravity on it, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded. Draw a free-body diagram for block B. showing the force of gravity on it, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded

Explanation / Answer

for mass A along y direction up normal reaction down weight along horizontal T =tension towards right for mass B down weight and up tension T both have accelration of magnitude a = (Mb * g)/(Mb+Ma) m/s^2
