A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of
8 m/s on a mass m, and an acceleration of
24 m/s on a mass m2. Find the acceleration
that the same force would provide if both
the masses are tied together.
Answers
Explanation:
for first mass m1, F=5N. a= 8m/s²
since F=ma =>5=m1X8 =>m=5/8kg
for second mass m2, F=5N. a= 24m/s²
m2= 5/24kg
when both masses are tied together, that new mass will be m1+m2=5/8+5/24
=20/24=5/6kg
F=5N. m=5/6kg
F=ma =>5=5/6 X a => a=6m/s²
Hey mate here is your answer :----- 6m/s²

Explanation:
Consider that there is three cases.....
In first case,
Given
F = 5N
a = 8m/s²
m = ?
To find mass of first body:-----
F = ma
5 = m × 8
5/8 = m
m = 5/8
m = 0.625 kg
In second case,
Given
F = 5N
a = 24m/s²
m = ?
To find mass of second body:-----
F = ma
5 = m × 24
5/24 = m
m = 5/24
m = 0.2083 kg
In third case,
If mass of 0.625kg and 0.2083kg are combined together, then the combined mass is equal to 0.8333kg...........
0.625 + 0.2083 = 0.8333
Given
F = 5N
m = 0.8333
a = ?
To find acceleration of combined masses:-----
F = ma
5 = 0.8333 × a
5/0.8333 = a
a = 5/0.8333
a = 6.0002400096............
a = 6m/s²
