Bonus - Solution to A Physics Problem
Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. This is just a bonus post, so I'll be solving only one question today in physics. That being said, let's get back to it. Question 1. Two mass 6kg and 4kg hung on a frictionless pulley with an inextensible string: a) find the acceleration b) tension of the string (g=10m/s²) Solution To solve this question, you should at least have a basic knowledge or an idea on the Forces and Pulley system . That would help you understand this solution. From the question, we were given two masses 6kg and 4kg respectively. Suppose the small m represents the 4kg mass and the M represents the 6kg mass, the whole system would move to the right as seen in the picture below. Force Diagram The system doesn't have x-components (horizontal forces) because it's only moving in the y-direction (vertical forces). So, all we need to sum up the forces in the y-component for each
