Question

Two blocks with masses $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ of $10 k g$ and $20 k g$ respectively are placed as in figures. Coefficient of friction $μ = 0.2$ between all surfaces, then tension in string and acceleration of $M_{2}$ block will be

Solution

Let us consider from the figure

Due to block $M_{1}$ the force acting on vertical direction is $T sin 30^{\circ} = 10 K g$ ----- $(i)$

therefore, $T = 196 N$

For block $M_{1}$ horizontal component of tension

force of normal reaction $N = T cos 30^{\circ} = 196 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 170$

For block $M_{2}$ , vertical direction force are written as

$20 g - 2 \times μ N = 20 \times a$

now substitute the values of $μ = 0.2, N = 170$

$(20 \times 9.8) - (2 \times 0.2 \times 170) = 20 \times a$

$20 a = 196 - 68$

$20 a = 128$

$a = \frac{128}{20} = 6.4 m / s^{2}$

Three blocks of mass $M_{1}$ , $M_{2}$ & $M_{3}$ are connected by massless strings as shown on a frictionless table. Where $T_{1}$ is the tension in the string between block $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ , $T_{2}$ is the tension in the string between block $M_{2}$ and $M_{3}$ . They're pulled with a force $F = 40 N$ .
