Read: A block, with mass 1.17 kg sitting on an incline plane at 5.20° with a friction coefficient, ??=0.450, is attached to another freely hanging block that weighs 2.01 kg. A pulley with mass, .423 kg, is between them with a radius of .0810m.
Task: Calculate the translational acceleration of the system.
List: Givens, Principle of Physics used, and Solve
The concept used is of balancing the forces , obtained acceleration is same for both the blocks because it is the connected system motion , initially i consider or assume the direction of movement and then apply the force balance in both x and y direction then i analyse that my result ( acceleration ) comes out to be positive which means i consider a correct direction , if it comes out to be negative then it means direction will be opposite to what i considered.
