Question

A mass of 30. kg is suspended from a massless rope on one side of a massless, frictionless pulley. A mass of 10. kg is connected to the rope on the other side of the pulley and is sitting on a frictionless ramp with an angle of inclination of 30°. The system is shown in the following diagram: 10 kg 30 kg 30° Determine the tension in the rope and the acceleration of the system.

Step 1

** For the 30 kg mass: * **Weight:** $30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N$ downwards * **Tension:** $T$ upwards For the 10 kg mass: * **Weight:** $10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 98 N$ downwards * **Normal force:** $N$ perpendicular to the ramp * **Tension:** $T$ upwards along the Show more…
