A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of 8 m/s2 on a mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 on a mass m2. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together?
Answers
EXPLANATION.
Force of 5N produce an acceleration of 8 m/s^2
on mass M1.
acceleration of 24 m/s^2 on a mass M2.
to find what acceleration would be the
same force provide if the mass is tied
together.
according to the question,
F1 = m1a1
5 = m1 X 8
m1 = 5/8
F2 = m2a2
5 = m2 X 24
m2 = 5/24
Total force = F = ( m1 + m2) a
5 = ( 5 / 8 + 5 / 24 ) a
5 = ( 20 / 24 ) a
5 = ( 5 / 6 ) a
a = 6 m/s^2
Therefore,
acceleration will be = 6 m/s^2
