Question

Two blocks shown in the figure are connected by a heavy uniform rope of mass 4 kg. An upward force of 200 N is applied as shown. Find the acceleration of the system.

  1. 9.26 m/s2    
  2. 2.5 m/s2    
  3. 26.9 m/s2    
  4. 29.6 m/s2    

The correct answer is: 2.5 m/s2


    200 = M (g+1)
    = 16 (10+9)
    16 a = 200 - 160
    = 40
    a equals fraction numerator 40 over denominator 16 end fraction equals fraction numerator 10 over denominator 4 end fraction equals 2.5 m divided by s to the power of 2 end exponent
