Let Tension lead the way..



Relate the accns. of the masses in the diagrams.

In the 1st diagram, the thread goes through a very small ring, free to slide on a fixed beam..You have to relate the accn. when the angle (specified in dig.) is A.

    no one's got anything right yet...
    You can use the following approach:
    1)Take all variable distances relative to fixed points.
    2)Express all constraints in terms of fixed lengths and these variable distances.
    3)Differentiate...

    OR...
    Let tension guide the way....

  2. for the ring one, the acc of the block 'A' is related to acc of the ring 'a' as..

    a + A(1-cosQ)=0
    obviously, when of them has to be decreasing for the other increasing...

  4. m getting it as a(cosQ-1)-AcosQ=0

  5. for the pulley block one...
    A3 + 4A2 + 2A1=0

  6. there are a few right answers and many wrong ones here..
    the last two posts look ok..

    anyways, let tension lead the way..

  7. for the pulley one i am getting it as 2a1+3a2-a3=0

  8. for the 2nd one it is a1(1-cosa)+a2=0

  9. correct answers:
    1)a1(1-CosA)+a2=0;

    2)2a1+4a2+a3=0;...assuming all accn. to be in the downwards direction.

  10. ring vale ka solution de do bhaiya....i m getting => a2(1-CosA)+a1=0

  11. Hey sambhav..i'm confused myself.
    I was trying to solve the ring one but was stuck...

    I'll post the solution (if it exists) soon.

  12. and i'm nearly sure that a1(1-CosA)+a2=0 isn't the right answer...

    this expression gives the velocity constraint ie.

    v1(1-CosA)+v2=0...but while differentiating this you can't assume CosA to be const..

  15. even i thought of differentiating the angle as well, but then thought that the answer shouldn't be that complicated..

    i would still be waiting for the answer..

  16. why don't we equate along the string like we do for most such cases???

    ReplyDelete
  17. you can do that if you know the accn. of the string in contact with the ring (in terms of velocity of the ring)...that's not simple.

    anyways, i found out my mistake..turns out we can't relate the accns. after all...

    we can relate the velocities only..sorry
