Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension t in the string just after the objects are released?

Answer:
m_1g<T<m_2g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two masses
m_1 and
m_2 is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For
m_1


T-m_1g=m_1a


T=m_1(g+a)------1

for m_2 body


m_2g-T=m_2a


T=m_2(g-a)-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g


m_1g<T<m_2g

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure-example-1

Answer:

T<m2hh

Step-by-step explanation:

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension t in the string just after the objects are released?

Two masses m1 and m2 is released and there is tension T in the string

a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore

For m1

T-m1g=m1a

T=m1(g+a)

m2

this is so because te weight is going downward wile tension in te rope is facing upward

m2g-T=m2a

T=m2(g-a)

from the equation ,

T<m2
