My values of Q = _______ and mC = ______

1. Two blocks A and C are connected by a cable passing over frictionless pulley B of radius 0.2
m, as shown in Figure Q1. The blocks are released from rest and A is on an inclined surface.
The coefficient of kinetic friction k = 0.2.

i) If the pulley B has negligible mass, determine a) the acceleration of A and b) angular
velocity of the pulley after 2 seconds. (4 marks)

ii) If the pulley B is a disk of mass 2Q kg calculate the acceleration of A.

(Hint: tension AB is not equal to tension BC) (3 marks)

iii) Compare and comment on the accelerations of A in parts i) and ii) (Bonus 1 mark)

iv) Using Work-energy method, determine the velocity of A when it has moves a distance of
10 m. Assume that the pulley is a disk of mass 2Q kg.
(3 marks)
Note: i. Draw all the free-body diagram and kinetic diagram where applicable.
ii) Use the values of Q and mC given to you.
