Step 1

The question is based on the concept of complexometric titrations.

We have  to calculate hardness of the given water sample.

hardness is due to presence of chlorides, sulphates, carbonates of calcium and magnesium ions.

Question:

Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as in Figure P4.66. Determine (a) the tension in the string, (b) the acceleration of each object, and (c) the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest.

Figure P4.66

Explanation

Explanation:

Given info: The masses are m1= 3.00 kg and m2= 5.00 kg.

The free body diagram is given below.

College Physics, Chapter 4, Problem 66P

From the free body diagram,

Tm1g=m1a (I)

m2gT=m2a (II)

  • m1 and m2 are the masses of blocks.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  • T is the tension in the cable.

Re-arrange Equation (II) to get a.

a=g(Tm2) (III)

Substitute Equation (III) in (I) and re-arrange to get T.

T=g(2m1m2m1+m2)

Substitute 9.8ms2 for g, 3.00 kg for m1 and 5.00 kg for m2 to get T.

T=(9.8ms2)(2(3.00kg)(5.00kg)(3.00kg)+(5.00kg))=36.75N36.8N

Conclusion:

The tension in the string is 36.8 N.
