2:56 PM OO etisalat HW 5 physics 1 Summ E Chapter 05, Problem 051 The figure shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood's machine. Block 1 has mass m1 1.40 kg; block 2 has mass m2 2.500 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the blocks' acceleration and (b) the tension in the cord? unts By accessing this Question Assistance, you will learn while you eam points based on the Point Potential Policy set by your 0 of 2 used Question Attempts: Elam Maximum Points available only iryou answer this question correctly in your fnt Al rights reserved

Explanation / Answer

2.5g-T=2.5a............1

T-1.4g=1.4a.............2

Solve for Tand a

Add both eq we wil get 2.5g-1.4g=2.5a+1.4a

a=2.76m/s^2

Subsitute value of a in eq 2 we wil get

T=1.4×2.76+1.4g =17.59N
