Question

ln the following arrangement the system is initially at rest. The 5 kg block is now released. Assuming the pulleys and string to be massless and smooth, the acceleration of block 'C' will be

Moderate
Solution

Block B will not move.

 

5g - T = 5a------------(1)

2T - 8g = 8a2---------(2)

10g-2T = 10a      from (1)

2g = 14a

a = g7

 a2 = g14 = 1014 = 57m/s2
