as shown in the figure, a 10-kg block on a perfectly smooth horizontal table is connected by a horizontal string to a 63-kg block that is hanging over the edge of the table. what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10-kg block when the other block is gently released?

Respuesta :

Newton's second law allows to find the acceleration of the two-body system, where a mass is hanging is:

  • The acceleration of the system is: a = 8.46 m / s²

Newton's second law states that the net force on a body is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.

         ∑ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.

A free body diagram is that diagram of the system where the forces are shown without the details of the bodies. In the attachment we have a free-body diagram of the system.

Let's write Newton's second law for each axis.

x- axis

        T = m₁ a

y-axis

body in the horizontal part

        N-W₁ = 0

       N = W₁

Body hanging.  

         W₂ - T = m₂ a

Wwhere the positive direction is down, let's write our system of equations.

         

                T = m₁ a  

         W₂-T = m₂ a

Let's Resolve.

          m₂ g = (m₁ + m₂) a

          a = [tex]\frac{m_2}{m_1+m_2} \ g[/tex]  

Let's calculate.

         a =[tex]\frac{63}{10+63} \ 9.8[/tex]  

         a = 8.46 m / s²

In conclusion using Newton's second law we can find the acceleration of the two-body system, where a mass is hanging is:

  • The acceleration of the system is: a = 8.46 m / s²
