Question

Two masses m, and m; are connected to the ends of a string passing over a pulley. Find the
tension and acceleration associated.

Answer 1

Explanation:

if m1 greater than m2

then acceleration is a=(m1-m2)g/m1+m2

tension , T =2m1m2g/m1+m2

If m2 greater than m1

then a=m2g/(m1+m2)

T= m1m2g/(m1+m2)
