Question

The figure below shows two boxes connected to each other by a light cord that passes over a pulley with negligible friction. The box of mass m1 = 10.0 kg hangs vertically while the box of mass m2 = 7.40 kg lies on an inclined surface with negligible friction. The surface is inclined at an angle theta of 35.0 degrees. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the 7.40 kg box (in m/s2)? m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)? N

Step 1

Step 1: For mass \(m_1\): The forces acting are: - Weight \(m_1 \cdot g\) acting vertically downward - Tension \(T\) acting vertically upward The net force in the vertical direction is: \(m_1 \cdot g - T = m_1 \cdot a\) Show more…
