Answer:

T’= 4/3 T  

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

      T = m_A a

Axis y

     N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

     W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

    T = m_A a

    W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

     m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

    a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

     m_A = M

     m_B = M

     a = M / (1 + 1) M g

     a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

    T = m_A a

    T = M ½ g

    T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

    m_B = 2M

    a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

    a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

    T’= m_A a

    T’= M 2/3 g

   

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

   T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

   T’/ T = 4/3

   T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer  e

Convert 15 joule into erg.​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

<h2><u>Joule</u><u>:</u></h2>

1 Joule of work is said to be done when a force of 1 Newton is applied to move/displace a body by 1 metre.

1 Joule= 1 Newton × 1 metre

1 Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate body of mass 1 kg by 1m/s²

So units of N is kgm/s²

So,

1 Joule

=1kgm/s² × m

=1kgm²/s²

<h2><u>Erg</u><u>:</u></h2>

1 erg is the amount of work done by a force of 1 dyne exerted for a distance of one centimetre.

1 Erg =1 Dyne × 1 cm

1 dyne is the force required to cause a mass of 1 gram to accelerate at a rate of 1cm/s².

1 Erg=1 gmcm/s² × cm

1 Erg=1 gmcm/s² × cm=1gmcm²/s²

this is what you need to convert 1gmcm²/s² to 1kgm²/s²

<h3><u>what you need to know for conversion</u></h3>

[1gm=0.001kg

1cm²

=1cm ×1cm

=0.01 m × 0.01 m

=0.0001m²

second remains constant

]

So,

1gmcm²/s²

=0.001kg×0.0001m²/s²

=0.001kg×0.0001m²/s² =0.0000001kgm²/s²

Hence,

<h3><u>1 Erg</u><u>=</u><u>0.0000001</u><u> </u><u>Joule</u></h3><h3><u>1</u><u> </u><u>Joule</u><u>=</u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>Erg</u></h3>

<h2>⇒15 J=15×10000000 Erg</h2><h2> =150000000 Erg</h2><h2> =1.5×10⁶ Erg</h2>
