Multiple-Object Accelerating Systems: As shown in the figure, two blocks are connected by a very light string, and the upper blo

ck is pulled upward by a different string. The masses of the upper and lower blocks are m1 = 300 g and m2 = 240 g, respectively. The tension in the upper string is equal to 6.6 N.a) Find the acceleration of the system.b) Find the tension in the lower rope.

Part A.

To get the acceleration of the system we consider the two blocks as a single mass. For this situation we have, from Newton's second law, that:

T-W=(m_1+m_2)a

where T is the tension in the upper sting and W is the weight of the system. Solving the equation for a we have:

\begin{gathered} 6.6-(0.3+0.24)(9.8)=(0.3+0.24)a \\ a=\frac{6.6-(0.3+0.24)(9.8)}{(0.3+0.24)} \\ a=2.42 \end{gathered}

Therefore the acceleration of the system is 2.42 meters per second per second.

Part B.

Now, that we have the acceleration of the system we analyze the lower block individually; for this block the equation of motion is:

T^{\prime}-W^{\prime}=m_2a

where T' is the tension in the lower rope, W' is the weight of the lower block and m2 is its mass. Solving for the tension we have that:

\begin{gathered} T^{\prime}=(0.24)(9.8)+(0.24)(2.42) \\ T^{\prime}=2.93 \end{gathered}

Therefore the tension in the lower rope is 2.93 N

Answer:

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Explanation:

An object's weigh due to the gravitational attraction force of the earth is:

w = mg

            Where: m is the object's mass

                         g is the  gravitational acceleration in the surface earth

                         g = 9.8 m/s2

The the ultralight car's weight is:

w_{uc} = (540)(9.8)

w_{uc} = 5292 N

And the Honda Accord's weight is:

w_{HA} = (1450)(9.8)

w_{HA} = 14210 N

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N
