Two blocks of masses 1 = 700 and 2 = 1100 are connected by a cord of negligible mass and hung over a diskshaped pulley, as shown
in the figure. The pulley has a mass of = 1.50 and a radius of = 14 , and rotates about a lightweight axle through its center. The axle itself is hung from the ceiling by two like cords of negligible mass and is held horizontally. The system is released from rest. a) Draw a free-body diagram for each of the blocks and the pulley separately. b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks. c) Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the pulley. d) Find the magnitude of tensions in the cords, 1, 2, and 3. (See the figure.)

Answer:
(a) The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane
(b) The horizontal component = 39.0 m/s
The vertical component = 171.55 m/s
(c) The angle of impact is 77.19°
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Velocity of the plane, vₓ = 39.0 m/s
Height of the plane above the ground, h = 1.50 × 10² m = 1,500 m
(a) The time, t, before the package hits the ground when dropped from the plane is given by the relation;
h = u·t + 1/2×g×t²
Where:
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
u = Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s
Hence;
1500 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t² = 4.905·t²
∴ t = √(1500/4.905) = 17.49 s
The horizontal distance the package travels before landing = 17.49 × 39 ≈ 682 m
The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane
(b) The vertical velocity, , of the package just before landing is given by the relation;
² = u² + 2·g·h
u = 0 m/s
∴ ² = 0 + 2×9.81×1500 = 29430 m²/s²
= √29430 = 171.55 m/s
Hence the horizontal component = 39.0 m/s
The vertical component = 171.55 m/s
(c) The angle of impact, θ, is given as follows;
∴ θ = tan⁻¹(4.4) = 77.19°.
