Question
Two blocks of masses 400 g and 200 g are connected through a light string going over a pulley which is free to rotate about its axis. The pulley has a moment of inertia 1.6×104kgm2 and a radius 2.0 cm. Find 'x', which is the kinetic energy of the system as the 400 g block falls through 50 cm and also find 'y', the speed of the blocks at this instant.
Options:
A .  x = 10.5 J, y = 2.6 m/s
B .  x = 9.8 J, y = 2.6 m/s
C .  x = 9.8 J, y = 1.4 m/s
D .  x = 0.98 J, y = 1.4 m/s
Answer: Option D
:
D
According to the question
Two Blocks Of Masses 400 G And 200 G Are Connected Through A...
0.4gT1=0.4a ...(1)
T20.2g=0.2a ....(2)
(T1T2)r=Iar ...(3)
From equation 1,2 and 3
a=(0.40.2)g(0.4+0.2+1.60.4)=g5
Therefore (y) V=2ah=(2×gl5×0.5)
(g5)=(9.85)=1.4ms.
(x) total kinectic energy of the system
=12m1V2+12m2V2+12182
=(12×0.4×1.42)+(12×0.2×1.42)+(12×(1.64)×1.42)=0.98joule.
