Two objects (42.0 and 21.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley hangs from the ceiling. Find (a) the acceleration of the objects and (b) the tension in the string.

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N

temp rises, and expansion

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
