Solutions

Expert Solution

Let, tension in left cable is T1 , tension in right cable is T2 and linear acceleration is a.

(a)

From equilibrium of torque,

T2*R - T1*R = l

For no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel,

= a / R

so, T2 - T1 = l*(a / R^2) ......(1)

equation for block B,

T1 - mBg = mBa ........(2)

Equation for block A,

mAg - T2 = mAa ..........(3)

T1 = mB(a + g) ..........(4)

T2 = mA(g - a) ...........(5)

From eq (1), (4) and (5),

mA(g - a) - mB(a + g) =  l*(a / R^2)

(mA - mB)g = ((mA + mB) + l / R^2) a

linear acceleration a = (3.5 - 2)*9.81 / [(3.5 + 2) + 0.40 / 0.10^2]

a = 0.323 m/s^2

linear acceleration of block A = 0.323 m/s^2

(b)

linear acceleration of block B = 0.323 m/s^2

(c)

Angular acceleration,

= a / R = 0.323 / 0.10

= 3.23 rad/s^2

(d)

Tension in left side of the cord,

T1 = mB(a + g) = 2*(0.323 + 9.81)

T1 = 20.26 N

(e)

Tension in right side of the cord,

T2 = mA(g - a) = 3.5 (9.81 - 0.323)

T2 = 33.20 N
