Question

Objects of masses 

m1 = 4.00 kg

 and 

m2 = 9.00 kg

 are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The object 

m1

 is held at rest on the floor, and 

m2

 rests on a fixed incline of 

θ = 39.5°.

 The objects are released from rest, and 

m2

 slides 1.25 m down the slope of the incline in 3.85 s.

A triangular structure is oriented such that its base rests upon a horizontal surface, its left side is perpendicular to its base, and its right side forms an incline of angle θ. A pulley is attached to the structure's apex. Two objects are connected by a cord that passes over the pulley.
  • An object labeled m1 is attached to the left end of the cord and hangs such that it is very close to the horizontal surface.
  • A rectangular object labeled m2 is attached to the end of the cord and rests upon the incline.
A pale image of m1 is above m1, and a pale image of m2 is farther down the incline than m2.
(a) Determine the acceleration of each object. (Enter the magnitude only.)
 m/s2

(b) Determine the tension in the string. (Enter the magnitude only.)
 N

(c) Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between 
m2
 and the incline.
