What we found:

Three blocks of masses m3 = 1.0, m2 = 2.0, and m1 = 4.0 kilograms are connected by massless strings, one of which passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass, as shown above.

A pulley system consists of two blocks of mass 5 kg and 10 kg, connected by a rope of negligible mass that passes over a pulley of radius 0.1 meters and mass 2 kg, as shown in the figure. The pulley is free to rotate about its axis. The system is released from rest, and the block of mass 10 kg starts to move downwards. Assuming that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pulley and the rope is 0.2, and neglecting air resistance, determine the acceleration of the system, the tension in the rope, and the magnitude and direction of the frictional force exerted on the pulley.

A 1kg and unknown mass (M) hangs on opposite sides of the pulley suspended from the ceiling. When the masses are released, M accelerates down at 5 m/s². What is M?

A 1 kg and unknown mass M hangs on opposite sides of the pulley suspended from the ceiling. When the masses are released, M accelerates down at 5 m/s2. Find the value of M.

In the diagram below, A has a mass of 3.2 kg and B a mass of 2.4 kg. The pulley is frictionless and has no mass. Calculate the acceleration of the system Calculate the tension in the string If mass A is released from a height of 0.5 m above the ground, what will be its speed just before it hits the floor.

Two objects (49.0 and 24.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley hangs from the ceiling. Find the acceleration of the objects and the tension in the string.
