Question

Two 30 kg blocks rest on a massless belt which passes over a fixed pulley and is attached to a 40 kg block. If coefficient of friction between the belt and the table as well as between the belt and the blocks B & block C is μ. The system is released from rest from the position shown, the speed with which the block B falls off the belt is

Solution

The correct options are
A 22m/s if μ=0.2
C 25m/s if μ=0.5
Force acting on block B due after releasing the 40 kb block
Force on block B = friction friction force on block B
FB=μmg
=30μg. . . . . (1)

Lets assume that the acceleration of block B is 'a' after releasing the 40 kg block.
We know that
Force = mass x acceleration
FB=ma. . . . .(2)

Put, equation 1 = equation 2
ma=μmg
a=μg. . . . . (3)

We also know that
V2=2as; where 's's is displacement

From the figure shown
Displacement of B will be 2 m when it is just about to fall.
s=2 m

Substitute 'a' from equation 3 and 's' from the above equation
V=(4μg)
V=2(μg)

If μ=0.2, then
V=2(2)ms2


If μ=0.5, then
V=2(5)ms2

Therefore, Option A and Option C are correct.
