Question

In the figure below, assume that the pulleys are massless and frictionless.The masses of the blocks are Ma=3.00 kg, Mb=5.00 kg, Mc=1.00 kg, and there is friction between the horizontal plane and Mb, (?k?0). Mb is observed to travel at a constant velocity.

??? Part C ???Mass Mc is now decreased by 0.60 kg. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of Mb.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

The coeffificient of friction = uk = 0.4

a = [( Ma - Mc) g - Mbg uk ] / [(Ma + Mb +Mc)]

   when Ma is now decreased by 0.6, the mass of Mc = 1-0.6 = 0.4 kg

Ma= 3kg ; Mb = 5 kg

a = [ ( 3 - 0.4 ) (9.8) - 5 *9.8 * 0.4 ] / (3 + 5 + 0.4 )

    = (25.48 - 49*0.4 ) / 8.4

     = 5.4 / 8.4

     = 0.64 m/s^2 = acceleration of Mb towards the right .
