Question Number 19355 by Tinkutara last updated on 10/Aug/17

Two blocks are placed on a smooth  horizontal surface and connected by a  string pulley arrangement as shown.  If a force F starts acting on block m_1 ,  then find the relation between acceleration  of both masses and their values

F−3T=m_1 a_1     ...(i)  4T=m_2 a_2            ...(ii)  4a_2 =3a_1              ...(iii)  ⇒F−((3m_2 a_2 )/4)=((4m_1 a_2 )/3)  ⇒  a_2 =((12F)/(16m_1 +9m_2 ))  and   a_1 =((16F)/(16m_1 +9m_2 )) .

$$\mathrm{F}−\mathrm{3T}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{1}} \:\:\:\:...\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{4T}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:...\left(\mathrm{ii}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{4a}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{3a}_{\mathrm{1}} \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:...\left(\mathrm{iii}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{F}−\frac{\mathrm{3m}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{4m}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{12F}}{\mathrm{16m}_{\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{9m}_{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\mathrm{16F}}{\mathrm{16m}_{\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{9m}_{\mathrm{2}} }\:. \\ $$
