Question

4. Blocks X and Y, of masses mx = 5.12 kg and my = 3.22 kg, are connected by a fishing line passing over an essentially frictionless and massless pulley. Consider friction between the block and ramp negligible. The angle is 35.7o.

(a) Determine the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the block X.

(b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the fishing line.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Determine the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the block X.
