Consider the situation shown in the following figure All the surfaces are frictionless and the string and the pulley are light. Find the magnitude of acceleration of the two blocks.

उत्तर
Mass of each block is 1 kg, \[\sin \theta_1 = \frac{4}{5}\]
\[\sin \theta_2 = \frac{3}{5}\]
The free-body diagrams for both the boxes are shown below:
mgsinθ1 − T = ma ...(i)
T − mgsinθ2 = ma ...(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii),we get:
mg(sinθ1 − sinθ2) = 2ma
⇒ 2a = g (sinθ1 − sinθ2)
\[\Rightarrow a = \frac{g}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ = \frac{g}{10}\]

A stone of mass m tied to the end of a string revolves in a vertical circle of radius R. The net forces at the lowest and highest points of the circle directed vertically downwards are: [Choose the correct alternative]
| Lowest Point | Highest Point | |
| a) | mg – T1 | mg + T2 |
| b) | mg + T1 | mg – T2 |
| c) | `mg + T1 –(m_v_1^2)/R` | mg – T2 + (`mv_1^2`)/R |
| d) | `mg – T1 – (mv)/R` | mg + T2 + (mv_1^2)/R |
T1 and v1 denote the tension and speed at the lowest point. T2 and v2 denote corresponding values at the highest point.
