Question

Two objects with masses of 2.30 kg and 7.40 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley

(a) Determine the tension in the string. (Enter the magnitude only.)

(b) Determine the acceleration of each object. (Enter the magnitude only.)

(c) Determine the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from res

Answer 1

T= (2gm1m2)/(m1-m2)
A= g(m1-m2)/m1+m2
D= 1/2at^2

Answer 2

tension isn't working for some reason. are you supposed to add or subtract m1 and m2 in the first part of that equation instead of multiply?

Answer 3

Add the masses on the bottom not subtract..sorry I hit the wrong button
