ox A has a mass of 20.0kg and Box B has a mass of 30.0kg. Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless and Box B

is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A. If the acceleration of the system is 5.88m/s2, what is the Tension T on Box A?

The tension on box A is 117.6 N

<h3 /><h3>What is Equilibrium of Forces ?</h3>

Equilibrium is a state of an object with respect to a given observable quantity during the time for which there is no change in that quantity.

A body is said to be in equilibrium when:

  • the body as a whole either remains at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed.
  • the body is either not rotating at all or is rotating at a constant angular velocity.

Given that box A has a mass of 20.0kg and Box B has a mass of 30.0kg. Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless and Box B is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A.

The tension in the rope will be the same.

Given that Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless, that is,

T = ma .... (1)

Also,  Box B is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A. That is,

W - T = ma ...... (2)

Where W = mg

Since the acceleration of the system is 5.88m/s² which will be the same for the two equations, then the Tension T on Box A can be calculated by substituting acceleration and mass into equation (1)

T = 20 x 5.88

T = 117.6 N

Therefore, the tension on box A is 117.6 N

expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .  

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor  tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.
