Question

The drawing shows a frictionless incline and pulley. The two blocks are connected by a wire (mass per unit length = 0.0328 kg/m) and remain stationary. A transverse wave on the wire has a speed of 98.8 m/s. Neglecting the weight of the wire relative to the tension in the wire, find the masses (a) m1 and (b) m2 of the blocks.

A transverse wave on the wire has a speed of 98.8 m/s. Neglecting the weight of the wire relative to the tension in the wire, find the masses (a) m1 and (b) m2 of the blocks.

Explanation / Answer

m1 = m/L)*v^2 / gsin 30 = 0.0328*98.8^2 / 9.81 sin30 = 65.3

m2 = m/L*v^2/g = 32.63
