Two objects with masses of 3.20 kg and 8.00 kg are connected by a light string t

Question

Two objects with masses of 3.20 kg and 8.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as in the figure below.

(a) Determine the tension in the string. (Enter the magnitude only.)



Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. N

(b) Determine the acceleration of each object. (Enter the magnitude only.)
m/s2

(c) Determine the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest.
m

Please show your work so I can do the next 20 problems on my own tank you in advance

Explanation / Answer

a) a = (8-3.2)/(8+3.2) * g = 4.2m/s^2 3.2 * 4.2 = 3.2 * 9.8 - T T = 17.92 N b) 4.2m/s^2 c) s = 1/2 at^2 = 1/2 * 4.2 * 1^2 = 2.1m
