Mass - Pulley problem
Not what you're looking for?
Two pulley system supporting two masses; one sliding on a rough surface and the other hanging. The system is released from rest. To determine the linear acceleration of the sliding mass.
Block A weighs 25 lbs and it slides on a surface with a coefficient of friction 0.30. Block B weighs 7 lbs. The cable does not slip on either pulley. Both pulleys are massless and frictionless. The system is released from rest. Determine the linear acceleration of mass A.
