Q.

Two blocks A and B of masses 1 kg and 2 kg respectively are connected by a string, passing over a light frictionless pulley. Both the blocks are resting on a horizontal floor and the pulley is held such that s-p  string remains just taut. At moment t=0, a force F=20t newton starts acting on the pulley along vertically upward direction as shown in figure. Calculate velocity of A when B loses contact with the floor.(Take, g=10 m/s2).

Detailed Solution

 Let T be the tension in the string. Then,

2T=20t T=10t newton 

 Let the block A loses its contact with the floor at time t=t1. This happens when the tension  

 in string becomes equal to the weight of A. Thus,  T=mg 10t1=1×10 t1=1 s

 or   Similarly, for block B, we have   or 10t2=2×10  i.e. the block B loses contact at 2 s. For block A, at time t such that tt1 let a be its   acceleration in upward direction. Then,  10t-1×10=1×a=(dv/dt)  or   Integrating this expression, we get  

or 0vdv=101t(t-1)dt

Substituting t=t2=2 s

v=5t2-10t+5

v=20-20+5

 = 5  m/s
