Three blocks on a frictionless surface are connected by massless strings, with M

Question

Three blocks on a frictionless surface are connected by massless strings, with M1 = 1.10kg, M2 = 2.40kg, and M3 = 3.50kg. Due to the force F acting on M3, as shown, the system accelerates to the right. Given that T1 is 2.90 Newtons, calculate T2.

Three blocks on a frictionless surface are connected by massless strings, with M1 = 1.10kg, M2 = 2.40kg, and M3 = 3.50kg. Due to the force F acting on M3, as shown, the sy+B467stem accelerates to the right. Given that T1 is 2.90 Newtons, calculate T2.

Explanation / Answer

T1 = m1a

2.90 = 1.10 xa

a = 2.64 m/s2

T2 = (m1+m2)a = (2.4 +1.1) x 2.64 = 9.23 N
