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.
