The Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. Assume that the rope and pu
lley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. If the masses have the values m1=21.1 kg and m2=12.9 kg, find the magnitude of their acceleration ???? and the tension T in the rope. Use ????=9.81 m/s2.
This is what is known as a series circuit. People advise to not use these and use the much more useful parallel circuits, which have resistors on separate paths. I hope this helps!
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force applied. Therefore, the formula written below will be used to solve this problem:
