A person of mass is inside a lift of mass and presses the button on control panel. The lift starts moving upwards with an acceleration . If , the tension in the supporting cable is
Get Answer
Total mass
Let be the tension in the supporting cable, then
If two masses ( ) are connected on a horizontal plane and a force is applied on the combination, then the tension depends on
the force applied on the system
whether force is applied on or
both (a) and (b)
Can't be predicted.
When force is applied on
then and when force is applied on , then . Thus value of is different for each case. And it depends on whether the force is applied on , or .
Common acceleration of system is
Force on is
Acceleration is more in A, when force is applied on A.
Acceleration is more in B, when force is applied on B.
Acceleration is same and does not depend on whether the force is applied on or
Acceleration depends on the tension in the string.
So the acceleration is same whether the force is applied on or .
Two blocks of masses and are attached by an inextensible light string as shown in the figure. If a force of 120 pulls the blocks vertically upward, the tension in the string is
(take )
Acceleration of the system
From figure
9.2
3.4

9.8
A spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. A man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring reads , when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of , the reading of the spring balance will be
For the bag accelerating down
