Question

Two bodies whose masses are m1 = 50 kg and m2
= 150 kg are tied by a light string and are placed on
a frictionless horizontal surface. When m1 is pulled
by a force F 1000N.Calculate the value of accellaration​

Answer 1

Answer:

Taking both bodies together as a system-

F=(m1+m2)a

⟹F=200×5=1000N

Now, consider only m2

The only force moving it is tension.

So, T=m2a

⟹T=150×5=750N

Answer 2

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

a=F/m

=1000/200

=5m/s²
