Question

A 14.8 kg load of bricks (m1) hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley, called an Atwood’s machine. A 27.4 kg counterweight (m2) is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in (Figure 1). The system is released from rest.

  1. What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks?
    1. a = ?
  2. What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving?
    1. T = ?
  3. How does the tension compare to the weight of the load of bricks?
    1. The tension is greater than the weight of the load of bricks.
    2. The tension is less than the weight of the load of bricks.
    3. The tension is equal to the weight of the load of bricks.
  4. How does the tension compare to the weight of the counterweight?
    1. The tension is greater than the weight of the counterweight.
    2. The tension is less than the weight of the counterweight.
    3. The tension is equal to the weight of the counterweight.
