Q.

Consider the shown system comprising of blocks A and B (each having mass m) connected by an ideal string as shown in the figure. The system is in equilibrium under influence of an external horizontal force F (Equal to 3mg4) acting on block B. The force F is now withdrawn. If acceleration of block A just after withdrawing F is a, then acceleration of B is

Detailed Solution

 Let tension in strings connecting A and B is T. From FBD of block A and pulley to which it is attached, for vertical equilibrium, we get
Question Image
2T=mgT=mg2 .........(i)
From FBD of B, for horizontal equilibrium, we get
T+T cosθ=34mg
Substituting value of T from Eq. (i),
We get
mg2+mg2cosθ=34mg
cosθ=12θ=600
Just after F is withdrawn, the block will accelerate as shown. Let’s assume tension in string connected to A be T'.
From FBD of pulley connected to block A,  T'=2T ...........(ii)
 Question Image
As sum of work by tension on the system is zero, therefore 
T'acos1800+Ta'+Ta'cos600=0 2Ta+Ta'+Ta'2=0[Using Eq. (ii)]       a'=4a3=1.33a
