Question
A 2-kg hanging mass (m,) is connected by a string
over a pulley to a 20-kg block (m2) that is sliding on a
50° fixed inclined plane (see the figure below). If the
pulley's mass and the mass of the string are negligible,
and all surfaces are frictionless, the magnitude of the
acceleration (in m/s2) of the moving system is:
A. 7.14
a.
B. 9.8
C. 5.93
D. 3.56
E. 0.48
a.
