Ch6 VP3 ### Pulley System Problem - VP3**Problem Statement:**An object of mass \( m_1 \) hangs from a string that passes over a very light, fixed pulley \( P_1 \), as illustrated in the figure. The string connects to a second, very light pulley \( P_2 \). A second string passes around this pulley. One end is attached to a wall, and the other to an object of mass \( m_2 \) on a frictionless, horizontal table. **Questions:**(a) If \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \) are the accelerations of \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) respectively, what is the relation between these accelerations?(b) Find expressions for the tensions in the strings.(c) Find the accelerations \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \) in terms of the masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), and \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity).**Diagram Explanation:**- **\( P_1 \):** The fixed pulley over which the string with mass \( m_1 \) passes. This pulley changes the direction of the tension force in the string.- **\( P_2 \):** The second pulley with a string passing over it. One end is attached to a wall, while the other end is connected to mass \( m_2 \), which sits on a frictionless horizontal table.- **Mass \( m_1 \):** Hangs vertically, causing a downward force due to gravity.- **Mass \( m_2 \):** Positioned on a horizontal table, experiencing horizontal motion due to the tension in the string connected through \( P_2 \).These masses are connected in a system where their motions are interdependent due to the pulley arrangement, and solving for their accelerations and tensions involves applying Newton's Laws to the system.

How many actin monomers within an actin filament would a myosin molecule need to ratchet in order to contract a cell by approximately 1 μm? How fast could a non-muscle cell make this contraction compared to a muscle cell if the relative rates of myosin walks on F-actin are 4.5 μm/sec and 0.04 μm/sec for myosin II and I respectively?
