Question

*37. In the given figure the weight of the bodies are 200 and 300N. The
pulleys are frictionless and massless. Pulley
P, has stationary axle but pulley P2 is free
to move up and down. Calculate the tension
T, and T2 and acceleration of each body.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this problem, total tension(T) balance by the force (P). so, 2T=P, T=

2

P

If a is the acceleration of the body of mass M, then:

⇒Ma=T

⇒a=

M

T

=

2M

P
