Question

Two blocks of masses 2kg and 4 kg are connected by a light string passing over a light smooth Pulley clamp to the edge of a horizontal table that 2 kg block is on the smooth horizontal table and the other block is hanging vertically find the acceleration of the system if it is released from the rest and find the tension in the string

Answer 1

Answer: tension is 40/3 N.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 26.12 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

One block of mass = 2 kg

Another block of mass = 4 kg

We need to calculate the acceleration of the system

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{m_{2}g}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{4\times9.8}{6}$`

$a=6.53\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

Using formula of tension

$T=ma$

Put the value into the formula

$T=4\times6.53$

$T=26.12\ N$

Hence, The tension in the rope is 26.12 N.
