Given :
Two blocks of mass = m kg
Block are connected by a string over a pulley
Coefficient of friction between pulley and string = μ
To Find:
Acceleration of the system.
Solution:
- If we make the Free Body Diagram(FBD) of the system we get:
- Force mg acting downwards on the block hanging from the pulley.
- Tension T in the string acting upwards on the hanging mass.
- Tension T in the string acting right from the mass on the plane.
- Friction f acting left from the mass on the plane.
- Normal acting upwards on mass on the plane, balanced by mg acting downwards on the mass.
- Let us assume mass hanging from pulley moves down with acceleration 'a'.
- Equating all the forces:
ma = mg - T (Force = mass × acceleration)
⇒ T = mg - ma (1)
- Similarly, mass on the plane will move right with acceleration a
ma = T - f
But, f = μN
and, N = mg
⇒ f = μmg
So, ma = T - μmg
⇒ T = ma + μmg (2)
- Equating (1) and (2):
mg - ma = ma + μmg
⇒ 2ma = mg - μmg
⇒ 2a = g(1 - μ)
⇒ a =
Therefore, acceleration of the system is option (A) .
