Answer:
Coriolis Effect
Explanation:
The Coriolis effect is responsible for the deflection of winds to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the right in the Southern hemisphere. It is an effect that occurs because of the rotation of the earth around its axis.
The implication of this is that in areas of low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow in anticlockwise direction, and in areas of high pressure, it blows in a clockwise direction. The opposite of this happens in the Southern hemisphere.
Hi there!
Since the string is light and there is no friction in the pulley, the acceleration of the system is equal to the acceleration of both blocks.
We can begin by summing the forces of each block:
Block on incline:
- Force of gravity (in the negative direction away from the acceleration)
- Force of Tension
∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T
Block hanging:
- Force of gravity (Positive, in direction of acceleration)
- Force of Tension (Negative, opposite from acceleration)
∑F = M₂g - T
Sum both of these net forces for each block:
∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g
∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + M₂g
Divide by the mass to solve for acceleration:
Plug in the given values:
