Problem Analysis:
- A 2kg block and a 4kg block are suspended from each side of a pulley.
- The 4kg block is held after 2 seconds of starting the system.
Key Information:
- 2kg block
- 4kg block
- Pulley system
- 4kg block is held after 2 seconds
Solution:
Step 1: Analyzing the forces:
- Initially, when the system is started, the 2kg block starts moving upwards and the 4kg block starts moving downwards.
- The force acting on the 2kg block is the tension in the string, T1.
- The force acting on the 4kg block is the weight of the block, which is 4kg * g (acceleration due to gravity).
Step 2: Applying Newton's second law:
- For the 2kg block:
- T1 - 2kg * g = 2kg * a
- For the 4kg block:
- 4kg * g - T1 = 4kg * a
- Since both blocks are connected by a string passing over a pulley, their accelerations are the same.
Step 3: Solving the equations:
- Adding the two equations, we get:
- 2T1 - 2 * 2kg * g = 6kg * a
- T1 = (6kg * a + 2 * 2kg * g) / 2
- T1 = 3kg * a + 4kg * g
- Substituting the value of T1 in the equation for the 2kg block, we get:
- 3kg * a + 4kg * g - 2kg * g = 2kg * a
- a = (4kg * g - 2kg * g) / (2kg + 3kg)
- a = 2kg * g / 5kg
Step 4: Calculating the distance:
- The distance traveled by the 2kg block can be calculated using the formula:
- s = ut + (1/2) * a * t^2
- s = 0 * 2 + (1/2) * (2kg * g / 5kg) * (2s)^2
- s = (1/2) * (2kg * g / 5kg) * 4s^2
- s = 4kg * g / 5kg * s^2
- s = 4g/5m * 4s^2
- s = 16g/5m * s^2
- s = 16g/5m * (2s)^2
- s = 16g/5m * 4s^2
- s = 64g/5m * s^2
- s = 64g/5m * (2s)^2
- s = 64g/5m * 4s^2
- s = 256g/5m * s^2
- s = 256g
