Block 1 m m Block 2 Note: Figure not drawn to scale. Two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass that passes over massless pulleys that turn with negligible friction, as shown in the figure above. The mass m, of block 2 is greater than the mass m, of block 1. The blocks are released from rest. (a) The dots below represent the two blocks. Draw free-body diagrams showing and labeling the forces (not components) exerted on each block. Draw the relative lengths of all vectors to reflect the relative magnitudes of all the forces. Block 1 Block 2 (b) Calculate the acceleration of block m2 in terms of mi, m2, and g. Block 3 of mass m3 is added to the system, as shown below. There is no friction between block 3 and the table. Block 3 m3 Block m m Block 2 Note: Figure not drawn to scale. (c) Indicate whether the magnitude of the acceleration of block 2 is now larger, smaller, or the same as in the original two-block system. Explain how you arrived at your answer.
