 What is the acceleration of the System?

 What is the value of T?
 What is the force exerted by the 3kg on the 5kg?
What is the acceleration of the System?

Basically, the directions of forces are as shown:

Fn Fn Fn

5kg 3kg 6kg 100N

W W W

100 N is the total force exerted to move the 3 boxes, therefore, we can treat the entire system
as a single object:

100N
14kg

∑ F y =Fn−W =0

∑ Fx=m ( ax )
100 N=14 kg ( ax )
Since ay = 0, a = 7.14m/s2
100 N
= ( ax ) = 7.14m/s2 The acceleration of the
14 kg
systems is 7.14m/s2
What is the value of T?

The tension (T) if we can observe, only influences the boxed area of the system and does not accelerate
the 6kg box

If we are to create a free body diagram:

Solving for T

∑ F=m ( a )
T =m ( a )

T =8 kg ( 7.14 m/s )
2

T = 57.12 N

What is the force exerted by the 3kg on the 5kg?

Possible na ang tinatanong dito is kung ilang (N) ang nadagdagan once nagsama yung 3kg box sa 5kg

If that’s the case:

F=m ( a )

a = 7.14m/s2 F=3 kg ( 7.14 )

F = 21.42 N

Bale 21.42 N ang force na dinagdag ng 3kg box

F=? mula sa 5kg
