Question

Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The object m1 is held at rest on the floor, and m2 rests on a fixed incline of = 35.0°. The objects are released from rest, and m2 slides 1.10 m down the slope of the incline in 4.10 s. (a) Determine the acceleration of each object. (Enter the magnitude only.) m/s2 (b) Determine the tension in the string. (Enter the magnitude only.) N (c) Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between m2 and the incline.

Explanation / Answer

(a)
d = 1.1m & t = 4.1s
so
d =
