Two blocks, of weights 3.6 Nand 7.2 N, are connectedby a massless string and slide down a30inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block and the plane is 0.10, and the coefficient between the heavier block and the plane is 0.20. Assuming that the lighter block leads, find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks and (b) the tension in the taut string.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of the acceleration is3.5m/s2

b) The magnitude of tension on the string is 0.21 N

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Consider the two blocks as A and B:

Weight of block A,WA=3.6N

Mass of block A,MA=0.37kg

Weight of block B,WB=7.2N

Mass of block B,MB=0.74kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block (Block A) and the plane,KA=0.10

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the heavier block (Block B) and the plane,KS=0.20

02

Determining the concept

To find the acceleration of the blocks and the tension on the string, draw a free body diagram for each and then apply Newton's 2nd law of motion. According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Formula:

Fnet==ma

where, F is the net force, mis mass and ais an acceleration.

(a) Determining the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks

By using the Newton鈥檚 2nd law along the vertical direction to the block A, (positive x axis along the incline and the positive y along the vertical direction),

NA-WAcos30=0NA-WAcos30

Thus, the kinetic frictional force is,

fkA=kANA=kAWAcos30

Similarly, to the horizontal direction, consider acceleration as a,

T+fkA-WAsin30=mAaT+kAWAcos30-WAsin30=mAa

鈥(颈)

Now, by using Newton鈥檚 2nd law motion along the vertical and horizontal direction to the block B,

NB-WBcos30=0NB-WBcos30=0

Thus, the kinetic frictional force is,

fKB=KBNB=KBWBcos30

Along horizontal direction, consider acceleration is a,

localid="1657173983482" fKBT-WBsin30=mBaKBWBcos30-T-WBsin30=mBa

鈥(颈颈)

Adding equation (i) and (ii),

KBWBcos30-WAsin30+KBWBcos30-WAsin30=mA+mBaKAWA+KBWBcos30-WA+WBsin30=mA+mBaa=KAWA+KBWBmA+mBcos30-gsin30=0.103.6N+0.207.2N0.37kg+0.74kgcos30-9.8m/s2sin30=-3.5m/s2

Negative sign shows that blocks are moving to the downhill.

Thus,the magnitude of the acceleration is 3.5m/s2.

05

(b) Determining the magnitude of the tension on the string

By using the expression of acceleration in equation (i),

T+KAWAcos30-WAsin30=mAKAWA+KBWBmA+mBcos30-gsin30T=WAWBWA+WBKB-KAcos30=3.6N7.2N3.6N+7.2N0.20-0.10cos30=0.21N

Thus, the magnitude of tension on the string is 0.21 N.
