Block Ain Fig. 6-56 has mass mA=4.0kg, and block Bhas mass mB=2.0kg.The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the horizontal plane is k=0.50.The inclined plane is frictionless and at angle =30. The pulley serves only to change the direction of the cord connecting the blocks. The cord has negligible mass. Find

(a) the tension in the cord and

(b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) T = 13 N

b)a=1.6m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Mass of block A:mA=4.0kg .
  • Mass of block B:mB=2.0kg.
  • The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the horizontal plane is:k=0.50 .

Understanding the concept

The problem deals with Newton鈥檚 second law of motion, which states that the acceleration, a of an object is dependent upon the net force, F acting upon the object, and the mass, m of the object.

Formula:

F = ma

03

Draw the free body diagram and wri te force equations



Applying Newton鈥檚 second law:

For block A:

mAgsin30a-T=mAa-T=mAgsin30-mAa

(i)

For block B:

T-f=mBaT=f+mBa

(ii)

(Where a is the acceleration of both blocks and f is the force due to friction)

Equating T from both equations:

mAgsin(30)-mAa=f+mBa

04

(a) and (b) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks 

The magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks can be calculated as:

Solving the above equation for acceleration a as:

mAgsin(30)-f=mA+mBamAgsin(30)-kFn2=mA+mBaa=mAgsin(30)-kFn2mA+mB=mAgsin(30)-kmBgmA+mB

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

a=4.0kg9.8m/s2sin(30)-0.502.0kg9.8m/s24.0kg+2.0ga=9.8kg.m/s26.0kga=1.6m/s2

Thus, the magnitude of the acceleration isa=1.6m/s2 .

05

(a) and (b) Calculate the tension in the cord

Using equation (ii), we get,

T=f+mBa=kFn2+mBa

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

T=0.502.0kg9.8m/s2+2.0kg1.6m/s2T=13N

Thus, the tension in the rope is 13 N.
