Is the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the
acceleration of the center of mass of spool B?
1 answer:
Answer:
The acceleration of the centre of mass of spool A is equal to the magnitude of the acceleration of the centre of mass of spool B.
Explanation:
From the image attached, the description from the complete question shows that the two spools are of equal masses (same weight due to same acceleration due to gravity), have the same inextensible wire with negligible mass is attached to both of them over a frictionless pulley; meaning that the tension in the wire is the same on both ends.
And for the acceleration of both spools, we mention the net force.
The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.
For this system, the net force on either spool is exactly the same in magnitude because the net force is a difference between the only two forces acting on the spools; the tension in the wire and their similar respective weights.
With the net force and mass, for each spool equal, from
ΣF = ma, we get that a = ΣF/m
Meaning that the acceleration of the identical spools is equal also.
Hope this Helps!

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.
(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?
(b) What is the mass of each box?
Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;
(b) m1 = 915kg;
m2 = 605kg;
m3 = 864.5kg;
Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.
(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:
Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.
(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
The only force acting On the box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.
= 915kg
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
There are two forces acting on : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:
= 605kg
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
= 864.5kg
