Question

In the Atwood machine shown below, m1 = 2.00 kg and m2 = 6.10 kg. The masses of the pulley and string are negligible by comparison. The pulley turns without friction and the string does not stretch. The lighter object is released with a sharp push that sets it into motion at vi = 2.55 m/s downward.

(a) How far will m1 descend below its initial level?

(b) Find the velocity of m1 after 1.80 s.

magnitude     m/s direction In the Atwood machine shown below, m1 = 2.00 kg and m2 = 6.10 kg. The masses of the pulley and string are negligible by comparison. The pulley turns without friction and the string does not stretch. The lighter object is released with a sharp push that sets it into motion at vi = 2.55 m/s downward. (a) How far will m1 descend below its initial level? (b) Find the velocity of m1 after 1.80 s. magnitude m/s direction

Explanation / Answer

acceleration a = g*[1 - 2/(1+M/m)] = 4.9604 m/s
