The system is released from rest. Neglect the friction and the masses of the pulleys. Determine the tension in the cable and the distance traveled by block B at the instant its velocity reaches 2 m/s.Solution
We have
2aA = 3aB
on B:
mB g (3/5) - 3T = mB aB
24g - 3T = 40 aB
3T + 40aB = 235.2 ......(1)
on A:
2T - 8g = 8 aA
2T - 8g = 8 (3 aB / 2) = 12 aB
2T - 12aB = 78.4. ......(2)
Solve the above two equations.
Hence the tension in the cable is
T = 51.4 N
Acceleration:
aB =2.03 m/s^2
Use the below equation and solve d.
v^2 - u^2 = 2 a d
2^2 - 0 = 2 ( 2.03)d
d = 0.985 m
