Homework Statement
A 3kg load on an inclined plane of angel 30 degrees is connected by a cord over a frictionless pulley to a second load which has a mass of 2 kg. Find the:
a) Acceleration of each load
b) tension of each chord
Homework Equations
none?
The Attempt at a Solution
block A / box on inclined plane
[tex]\sum[/tex]Fy= 0
-Wycos30[tex]\circ[/tex] + NF= 0
-30cos30 + NF = 0
-25.98 + NF = 0
-25.98 = NF
NF = 25.98
f=[tex]\mu[/tex] NF
f= 0.3 (25.98)
f= 7.794
[tex]\sum[/tex]Fx= ma
Wxsin30[tex]\circ[/tex] - T - f = ma
15 - T - 7.794 = ma
15 - 7.794 - T = (3)(a)
-T = 3a - 7.206
T = 7.206 - 3a
block b
[tex]\sum[/tex]Fx= ma
T-W = ma
T - (2)(10) = (2)a
T - 20 = 2a
T= 2a+20
T=T
2a+20 = 7.206 - 3a
2a+3a = 7.206 - 20
5a = -12.794
a = - 2.56 m/s2
T1=7.206 - 3a
T= 7.206- 3(-2.56)
T= 14.886 N
T2= 2a+20
T= 2(-2.56) + 20
T= -3.1176 N
T2+T1 = TotalT
14.886 + (-3.1176) = TotalT
TotalT= 11.7684 N
I'm not sure if I got the right answer :( someone help?
