Laws of Motion - Result Question 23

23. A system consists of three masses m1,m2 and m3 connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass m1 hangs freely and m2 and m3 are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction =μ ). The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass m1 is : (. Assume .m1=m2=m3=m)

(a) g(1gμ)g

(b) 2gμ3

(c) g(12μ)3

(d) g(12μ)2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Acceleration

= Net force in the direction of motion  Total mass of system 

=m1gμ(m2+m3)g(m1+m2+m3)=g3(12μ)(m1..=m2=m3=m given )
