- An ideal massless rope passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block A with mass mA=7.2 kg, and block B with mass mB=4.9 kg, are suspended from opposite ends of the rope, as shown. (This contraption is known as an Atwood's machine.) Consider the motion of the blocks after they are released from rest.

Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks.arrow_forwardAssume motion in one dimension. You want to determine the mass of an object, by applying a known force F to it and measuring the objects acceleration a. However, there is also an unknown resistive force -f acting on the object, so that the net force is Fnet = F - f. In addition, your force sensor drifts slightly, so that its readings are not very accurate. You therefore make 4 measurements. For F = 1, 2, 3, and 4 N you measure the accelerations 6.26, 12.21, 19.26, and 26.39 m/s². respectively. Enter these data into an Excel spreadsheet and produce a graph of F versus a. Add a trendline, and Choose "Linear", "Display equation on chart". Do NOT set the intercept equal to zero. Format the trendline label so that it shows 3 decimal places. Assume F f = ma, or F = ma + f. The y-intercept of the trendline represents the unknown resistive (frictional) force. What is the magnitude of this force in N? Enter a number with 3 digits behind the decinal point.arrow_forward
