Question

A 4.0kg box is on a frictionless 35 degree slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging 2.0kg weight. What is the tension in the string if the 4.0kg box is held in place, so that it cannot move? If the box is then released, which way will it move on the slope? Draw a free body diagram. What is the tension in the string once the box begins to move?

Step 1

0kg box held in place, the tension in the string can be calculated by considering the forces acting on the box. The forces acting on the box are its weight (mg) acting downwards, the component of the weight parallel to the slope (4g sin(35°)), and the tension in Show more…
