The speed of the second mass after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters will be 1.09 m/s approximately
<h3>What are we to consider in equilibrium ?</h3>Whenever the friction in the pulley is negligible, the two blocks will accelerate at the same magnitude. Also, the tension at both sides will be the same.
Given that a large mass m1=5.75 kg and is attached to a smaller mass m2=3.53 kg by a string and the mass of the pulley and string are negligible compared to the other two masses. Mass 1 is started with an initial downward speed of 2.13 m/s.
The acceleration at which they will both move will be;
a = ( -
) / (
+
)
a = (5.75 - 3.53) / (5.75 + 3.53)
a = 2.22 / 9.28
a = 0.24 m/s²
Let us assume that the second mass starts from rest, and the distance covered is the h = 2.47 m
We can use third equation of motion to calculate the speed of mass 2 after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters.
v² = u² + 2as
since u =0
v² = 2 × 0.24 × 2.47
v² = 1.1856
v = √1.19
v = 1.0888 m/s
Therefore, the speed of mass 2 after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters will be 1.09 m/s approximately
