Two boxes on a horizontal plane with coefficient of friction µ are connected by a massless string. The left-hand box has mass m

and the right-hand box has mass 2m. A force F is applied to the right-hand mass at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal so that they move to the right at constant acceleration. What is the magnitude of the tensi

Answer:

T = (3μmg - Fcosθ)/2

Explanation:

Since the boxes move to the right, the net force on box of mass 2m is

Fcosθ - 2μmg + T = ma (1)where Fcosθ = horizontal component of applied force, 2μmg = frictional force and T = tension in string and a = acceleration of box

The net force on the box with mass m is

μmg - T = ma (2) where μmg = frictional force, T = tension and a = acceleration of boxes.

Equating (1) and (2) we have

Fcosθ - 2μmg + T = μmg - T

collecting like terms

Fcosθ - 2μmg - μmg = -T - T

Fcosθ - 3μmg = -2T

(3μmg - Fcosθ)/2 = T

T = (3μmg - Fcosθ)/2

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradual
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:cart B

Explanation:

For cart A speed is constant therefore there is no acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity

thus there is no net force

For cart B there is change in velocity in the left direction , so there is net acceleration towards left

Force=mass\times acceleration

so there is net force in the left direction

For cart C there is decrease in velocity i.e. negative acceleration or deceleration . Therefore there is a net force towards right which opposes the motion
