GO Figure 5-47 shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood’s machine. One block has mass m1 = 1.30 kg; the other has mass m2 = 2.80 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the blocks’ acceleration and (b) the tension in the cord?

- block 1 of mass m1 2.0 kg and block 2 of mass m2 3.0 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at u = 30. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move.What then is the tension in the string?arrow_forwardA block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3oabove horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?arrow_forwardOn a particle of mass m = 20gr, three forces F1, F2 and F3 act in the plane of the paper.

The kinetic friction coefficient between the lower block and the flat surface is 0.140. A horizontal force F= 97 N pushes against the upper block, causing it to slide.
