Motion of connected blocks over pulley

 

 

Equation of motion for   m_{1}

F_{net}=T-m_{1}g=m_{1}a

Equation of Motion for   m_{2}

F_{net}=m_{2}g-T=m_{2}a

a=\frac{[m_{2}-m_{1}\:]g}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

T=\frac{2m_{1}m_{2}\:g}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

When one Block is hanging from a rope and one on the table

  1. When one Block is hanging, other is on the Table

 

           

            a=\frac{m_{2}\:g}{m_{1}+m_{2}}


          T=\frac{m_{1}m_{2}\:g}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

 

  1. Three blocks, two are hanging and one is at the rest on the smooth horizontal table

   

 

      

m_1a=m_1g-T_1

m_2a=T_2- m_2\:g

T_1-T_2=Ma

 

a=\frac{(m_1-m_2)g}{m_1+m_2+M}


T_1=\frac{m_1(2m_2+M)\:g}{(m_1+m_2+M)}


T_2=\frac{m_2(2m_1+M)\:g}{(m_1+m_2+M)}
