Question

A force of 120 N produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2 on a mass m1 and 10 m/s2 on mass m2. What would be the acceleration if both masses are tied together and same force is applied on them? give me the calculation pls ill mark u as the brainliest

Answer 2

Given:

Force, F = 120 N

Acceleration in first mass, a1 = 2 m/s²

Acceleration in second mass, a2 = 10 m/s²

To Find:

The acceleration produced if both masses are tied together and the same force is applied on them.

Calculation:

- Force exerted in the first case:

F = m1a1

⇒ 120 = m1 × 2

⇒ m1 = 60 kg

- Force exerted in the second case:

F = m2a2

⇒ 120 = m2 × 10

⇒ m2 = 12 kg

- Combined mass, M = m1 + m2

⇒ M = 60 + 12 = 72 kg

- When the same force is applied, we have:

F = Ma

⇒ 120 = 72 × a

⇒ a = 1.67 m/s²

- So, the acceleration when both the masses are tied is 1.67 m/s².
