Question
Please explain reasoning for answer. There are 3 modified Atwood machines as described below. Determine the acceleration for each system.
System A A block, mass M, is on a frictionless table attached to a string that passes over a pulley and is attached at the other end to a similar block, mass M, that is hanging over the table edge
System B: Two blocks, each of mass M, are sitting on the frictionless table and are attached to a string that passes over a pulley and is attached at the other end to a similar block, mass M that is hanging over the table edge
System C: One block of mass M is on a frictionless table and is attached to 2 blocks of mass M that are hanging over the table edge at end of string.
Explanation / Answer
A ) for M on table T = Ma
for hanging
Mg - T = Ma
Mg - Ma = Ma======> a = g/2
B) a = g/3
C) a = 0
