The masses of blocks A and B are 20kg and 10kg, respectively. The blocks are initially at rest on the floor and are connecte by a massless string passing over a massless and frictionless pulley. An upward force is applied to the pulley. Find the acceleration of block A and of block B if the magnitude of the force is

Answer

mass of the block A = 20 Kg

mass of block B = 10 Kg

acceleration of Block A = ?

acceleration of Block B = ?

Assuming the magnitude of force = 124 N

Applying newton's second law

F = 2 T

T = F/2

now, Tension in the string =

T = 124/2 = 62 N

Weight of the block A

W = m₁ g

W = 20 x 9.8 = 196 N

Weight of the block B

W = m₂ g

W = 10 x 9.8

W = 98 N

Weight of blocks is greater than force applied by the pulley so, the blocks will not move.

Hence, acceleration of the block A and B = 0 m/s²

If the Force magnitude is increased to 294 N

T = F/2 = 294/2 = 147 N

Since this Force is less than Weight A  acceleration of the block A = 0 m/s².

For Block B

Tension is more than Weight hence block will move

Net Force = 147 - 98 = 49 N

acceleration =

                    a = 4.9 m/s²

which three statements are true about all alloys?

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
