thats correct Doc Al one mass that weighs 3.2kg (m1)is on the table connected to another mass of 1.6kg(m2) hanging off the table cia a pulley. a force of 44N is acting on the 3.2 kg mass
so F=ma (m1)
44 = 3.2 * a
a = 13.75 ms^-2
the acceleration of m2 is gravity so 9.8 downwards.
so...
yeah sorry it was a little ambiguous...i'm not even sure if that's the right word i think it's at a right angle but it didnt specify. there is a weight hanging off a table connected to an object of double that weight that has a force applied to it in the opposite direction (ie it is applying...
so f = ma right? so it could be re-written as
T= m*a*g
which in most cases is
T= m*g^2...which doesn't look right.
i presume you meant T=mg which is what i did
i have a harder question now. what if it's not just 1 object haging off a fixed space there is a nother problem that goes like...
good day all I've no idea how to work this out
this is the problem
A 5.5-kg object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator that is accelerating downward at a rate of 2.5m/s^2 What is the tension in the string?
i presume tension is the force that's on the string?
so i...
