Alight, inextensible cord passes over a light, frictionless pulley with a radius of 15 cm. it has a(n) 14 kg mass on the left and a(n) 5.2 kg mass on the right, both hanging freely. initially their center of masses are a vertical distance 2.5 m apart. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 .

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Vertical distance,d=2.5 m

Acceleration due to gravity=

a.Acceleration=

Substitute the values

Acceleration, a=

Acceleration, a=

b.Tension in the cord,

Tension in the cord,

Hence, the tension in the cord=74.3 N

the answer would be 32*f

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
