A mass m1 = 5.6 kg rests on a frictionless table. It is connected by a massless and frictionless pulley to a second mass m2 = 3.8 kg that hangs freely.
1) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of block 1?
m/s2
2) What is the tension in the string?
N
3)
Now the table is tilted at an angle of ? = 69.0° with respect to the vertical. Find the magnitude of the new acceleration of block 1.
m/s2
4) At what “critical” angle will the blocks NOT accelerate at all?
°

5) Now the angle is decreased past the “critical” angle so the system accelerates in the opposite direction. If ? = 19.0° find the magnitude of the acceleration.
m/s2

6) Compare the tension in the string in each of the above cases on the incline:
T? at 69.0° = T?critical = T? at 19.0°
T? at 69.0° > T?critical > T? at 19.0°
T? at 69.0° < T?critical < T? at 19.0°
