Question

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where

m₁ = 3.60 kg

and

m₂ = 6.50 kg.

Assume the pulley and surfaces are frictionless, and the cord is massless and does not stretch. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

A triangular structure is oriented such that its base rests upon a horizontal surface. Its left and right sides are of equal length and and each form 35.0° inclines with respect to the base. Rectanglular masses labeled m₁ and m₂ are positioned, respectively, on the structure's left and right inclines. The two masses are connected by a cord that passes over an upright pulley affixed to structure's apex.

(a)

What is the acceleration of each block? (Enter the magnitude in m/s².)

m/s²

(b)

What is the tension in the cord (in N)?
