Question

A force produces an acceleration `16m^(-2)` in a mass `0.5 kg` and an acceleration `4ms^(-2)` in an unknown mass when appied separately If both the masses are tied together what will be the acceleration under same force ? .

Answer 1

Force `F =ma = 0.5 xx 16 =8N` when both masses are joined and same forces acts acceleration is given
`a^(1) = (F)/(m+m^(1)) = (8)/(0.5 +(8//4))=3.2ms^(-2)` .
