Question

A situation is shown in figure-2.15, Find the acceleration of
masses m, and m, mass of pulley is m . Consider the string
going over the pulley is massless and frictionless.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

for m1.

T-m1g=2m1*a

for pulley 2

T1+mp*g-2T=mp*a

for m2

m2g-T1=m2a

3 unknown T,T1 and a.

3 equations.
