1a)

 

A light, inextensible cord passes over alight,

 

frictionless pulley with aradius of 9:5cm.

 

It has a(n) 19 kg mass on theleft and a(n)

 

7:7 kg mass on the right, bothhanging freely.

 

Initially their center of massesare a vertical

 

distance 2:4 m apart.

 

The acceleration of gravity is9:8m=s2 :

 

At what rate are the two massesaccelerat-

 

ing when they pass each other?Answer in

 

units of m=s2.

 

b)

 

What is the tension in the cordwhen they

 

pass each other? Answer in unitsof N.
