Q.

Find the acceleration of the body of mass m2 in the arrangement shown in figure. If the mass m2 is η times great as the massm1, and the angle that the inclined  plane forms with the horizontal is equal to θ. The masses of the pulleys and threads, as well as the friction is negligible.

Detailed Solution

 Here, by constraint relation we can see that the acceleration of m2 is two times that of m1. So, we assume if m1is moving up the inclined plane with an acceleration a, the acceleration of mass m2 going down is 2a. The tensions in different strings are shown in figure.

The dynamic equations can be written as

For mass m1 :

2T-m1gsinθ=m1a                                   ………………………..(i)

For mass m2 :

m2g-T=m2(2a)                                            ……………………(ii)

Substituting m2=ηm1 and solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

Acceleration of m2=2a=2g(2η-sinθ)4η+1
