Question

A hanging mass, M1 = 0.5 kg, is attached by a light string that runs over a frictionless pulley to a mass M2 = 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless ramp. The ramp is at an angle of θ = 30.0° above the horizontal and the pulley is at the top of the ramp. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of M1. a. 4.905 m/s2 , upward c. 4.905 m/s2 , upward b. 4.805 m/s2 , downward d. 4.805 m/s2 , downward

Step 1

For \( M_1 \), the forces are: - The gravitational force \( F_{g1} = M_1 \cdot g \) - The tension \( T \) in the string For \( M_2 \), the forces are: - The gravitational force \( F_{g2} = M_2 \cdot g \) - The normal force \( N \) perpendicular to the ramp - The Show more…
