Question

Two blocks of masses 1 = 700 and 2 = 1100 are connected by a cord of negligible mass and hung over a diskshaped pulley, as shown in the figure. The pulley has a mass of = 1.50 and a radius of = 14 , and rotates about a lightweight axle through its center. The axle itself is hung from the ceiling by two like cords of negligible mass and is held horizontally. The system is released from rest. a) Draw a free-body diagram for each of the blocks and the pulley separately. b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks. c) Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the pulley. d) Find the magnitude of tensions in the cords, 1, 2, and 3. (See the figure.)

Answer 1

b) 16 cm

Magnification, m = v/u

3 = v/u

⇒ v = 3u

Lens formula : 1/v – 1/u = 1/f

1/3u = 1/u = 1/12

-2/3u = 1/12

⇒ u = -8 cm

V = 3 × (-8) = -24

Distance between object and image = u – v = -8 – (-24) = -8 + 24 = 16 cm
