Question 42





Two objects are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P5.42. Assume the incline is frictionless and take m1 = kg, m2 = kg, and θ = °. (a) Draw free-body diagrams of both objects. Find (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the objects, (c) the tension in the string, and (d) the speed of each object s after it is released from rest.
