Two connected blocks
Pull a pair of blocks joined by a string and find the shared acceleration.
What to notice
The string tension only has to accelerate the block behind it.
Key relation
a = F/(m₁+m₂); T = m₂a
Try this
Swap which block the force is applied to.
What you can change
- Front block: 1 to 8 kg
- Rear block: 1 to 8 kg
- Applied force: 5 to 60 N
