Chapter 7 Problem 13E

Question

FIGURE EX7.13 shows two \(1.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) blocks connected by a rope. A second rope hangs beneath the lower block. Both ropes have a mass of \(250 \mathrm{~g}\). The entire assembly is accelerated upward at \(3.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) by force \(\vec{F}\).

a. What is \(F\) ?

b. What is the tension at the top end of rope 1 ?

c. What is the tension at the bottom end of rope 1 ?

d. What is the tension at the top end of rope 2 ?

Solution

Step 1 of 5

The given two blocks with mass \(m_{A}=m_{B}=1 \mathrm{~kg}\), and two ropes with mass \(m_{1}=m_{2}=0.25 \mathrm{~kg}\).

The two block and two rope system has been accelerated upwards with the acceleration \(a=3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

For the given case, we can draw the FBD for the blocks and ropes individually as shown below,
