(42S) Pulley - Eddie W. Shore - 07-07-2017 05:30 AM There are two weights in a pulley system, held by a rope has a negligible contribution. The program uses SI units (kg, m, s, with g = 9.80665 m/s^2). The simultaneous equations solve for acceleration (m/s^2) and tensions: T – m1 * a = m1 * g T + m2 * a = m2 * g Source: HP 22S Science Student Applications. Edition 1. Corvallis, Oregon. May 1988 Code:
Example: m1 = 32 kg, m2 = 56 kg Result: tension = 399.3981, a = 2.6745 m/s^2 |
