Question

There's a box and a hanger, both piled on masses. You'll be taking a series of acceleration measurements with different masses on the hanger and you'll want to keep the total mass constant during this process. the box contains these masses: (100g, 50g, 10g) = a total of 160 grams, and on the hanger are hanging these masses. (200g, 20g, 20g) = which add to 240 grams. Total load is 400 grams. Describe how you could transfer 40 grams from the box to the hanger, while keeping the total mass constant, using only the masses which are already present in the experiment. Find minimum acceleration masses should have in above experiment in m/s^2

Explanation / Answer

Transfer 50gm and 10 gm weight to the hanger from the box

Transfer 20 gm from the hanger to the box

Resultant Masses on Hanger : 280 gm, Box : 120 gm and the total net weight remains the same i.e. 400 gm
