Question

Two bodies of masses 5kg and 4kg are arranged in 2 position as shown if pulleys and the table are perfectly smooth the acceleration of the 5 kg body in both cases

Answer 1

Answer:

Since from the question we get the value of the masses as m1 = 5kg  and the value of the m2 = 4kg.  

Now, we can use the formulae a = m1 g / m1 + m2 since the block of the masses are interconnected by the pulley so their tension in the string will be equal.  

Hence on putting the values we will get a = 5 x 9.8 / ( 9 ).  

Or, a = 49 / 9.  

So, the value of acceleration will be a = 5 .44 m/s^2.

Answer 2

Answer is (4/9)g and (1/9) g

use the tension formula to get it
