Question

Consider the situation shown in figure. Calculate (a) the acceleration of the 1.0 kg blocks, (b) the tension in the string connecting the 1.0 kg blocks and (c) the tension in the string attached to 0.50 kg.

Answer 1

Refers to the Attachment for the answer.

Let the acceleration of the masses is a.

Let the Tension in the string of 0.5 kg be T, and in the string of mass 1 kg be T'.

After that, See from the Attachment.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

F=mg

F=0.5*10=5 N

friction =1*0.5*10+1*0.2*10=7N

friction>F

object will not move ,acceleration is zero
