A body of mass 3 kg at rest on a smooth table is connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley
at the edge of the table to another body of mass 2 kg hanging freely. What is the common acceleration of both bodies when
the system is released from rest

Question

A body of mass 3 kg at rest on a smooth table is connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley
at the edge of the table to another body of mass 2 kg hanging freely. What is the common acceleration of both bodies when
the system is released from rest

naveenbabbar · Answer

Common acceleration= (Pulling force)/total mass of the system= 20N/5kg= 4 m/s2
