Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. there is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. the masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. what must be true about the tension t in the string just after the objects are released?

Explanation:

Given

Two masses  and  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For

------1

for m_2 body

-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

search it up!

explanation:

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
