Question

The acceleration of the blocks (A) and (B) respectively in situation shown in the flgure is: (pulleys and strings are massless)

Moderate
Solution

The F.B.D. of block A and B are

from constraint, the acceleration of A and B are ‘2a’ and ‘a’ respectively. Applying Newton's second law to blocks A and B, we get

4g-T = 4(2a)---------(i)

2T-5g = 5(a) ---------(ii)

Solving we get acceleration of A and B as 2g7
