QUESTION: 4
Given Data:
 Mass of block A = ma= 50kg
 Mass of block B = mb = 15kg
 Time = t = 2s
 We have to find velocity of block B in 2s = vb

Solution:
sA +sB+2(sB-a) = l
sA +3sB= l + 2a [1]

Taking double derivative of Eq. [1]

aA +3aB = 0

For block B:
3T – 15(9.81) = 15(-aB) [2]
For block A:
T -50(9.81) = 50(-aA) [3]

By solving equation [1], [2] and [3]

aB = -2.848m/s2
aA = 8.554m/s2
T = 63.29N
Now,
vB = (vA)0 + aBt
vB = 2.848(2)
vB = 5.70m/s Ans.
