Question

In the following arrangement the system is initially at rest. The 5 kg block is now released. Assuming the pulleys and string to be massless and smooth. If the acceleration of block 'C' is 10 x m/s2 , then find value of x. Take g = 9.8 m/s2

Answer 1

Block B will not move

5g – T = 5a .............(1)

2T – 8g = 8 2 a ..............(2)

10g – 2T = 10a from (1)
