Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration of the 19 kg block is 1.414 m/s²
Explanation:
From Newton's second law of motion;
[tex]F_{Net} = ma[/tex]
where;
m is the mass of the objects involved, kg
a is the acceleration of the object, m/s²
different forces on the block and string
⇒force due to 15 kg block
=mgcosθ = 15×9.8×cos20 = 15×9.8×0.9396
= 138.12 N
⇒Tensional Force on 19 kg mass:
T = mg = 19×9.8 = 186.2 N
[tex]F_{Net} = T-mg = a(m_1+m_2)[/tex]
186.2 - 138.12 = a(15+19)
48.08 = a(34)
a = 48.08/34
a = 1.414 m/s²
Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the 19 kg block is 1.414 m/s²
