Solution:
Let tension of is T and tension of is 2T
Let acceleration of is a and acceleration of is 2a
Free body diagram (FBD) of m2
Free body diagram (FBD) of m1
From Eqs. (i)2 and (ii), we get
Free body diagram of m
For the situation shown in the figure, pulleys are light and smooth. Pulleys C and D are fixed, but A and B are movable. Find the value of m (in kg) if m is in equilibrium. (take, m1 = 2 kg and m2 =1 kg)
