Question:
The blocks A and B shown are initially at rest and have masses of mA=225 kg and mB=105 kg . Neglect the mass of the rope and pulley system and assume block B moves only in the vertical direction, parallel to the y-axis. Neglect the effects of friction.
Part A - Acceleration of Block B
If the blocks are released from rest, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of block B.
Part B - Acceleration of Block A
If the blocks are released from rest, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of block A.
Part C - Tension in the Rope
If the blocks are released from rest, determine the tension in the rope.
