Problem 2(25 Marks)
Two blocks with masses (m1 and m2) on a table are moved by a hanging mass ({:m3) attached to a
pulley (see figure below). Assume the masses of the cables and pulleys can be ignored, all the
cables are rigid, and all surfaces including bench and pulley are frictionless.
A. Draw separate free body diagrams for the three blocks (m1,m2, and {:m3).(6 marks)
B. When m3 hits the ground, what is the displacement of m2 on the bench? (3 marks)
C. If m1,m2 and m3 are 1.00kg,2.00kg and 3.00kg, respectively, what is the tensions for
each cable, i.e.,T12,T23 and T3?(6 marks)
D. What is the acceleration of m3?(4 marks)
E. If all the blocks start from rest, how long will m3 take before it hits the ground? (6 marks)
