Problem Set


1. Consider the Atwood machine used in the experiment. The 70-g right pan, made 10g heavier than the left pan, takes 2.8 s to descend to the bottom platform, 12dmbelow the top platform. Mass of the pulley=87.15g. What is the %error in theacceleration of the pans?


2. Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg (left) and 5.00 kg (right) are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, a system similar to the Atwood machine. Apply your results in Post-lab activity no.1 and determine:
a. the tension in the string
b. the acceleration of each object
c. the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest
