Derive an equation for the acceleration of block 3 for any arbitrary values of m3 and m2. Express your answer in terms of m3, m2, and physical constants as appropriate.

Complete question is;

Block 1 is resting on the floor with block 2 at rest on top of it. Block 3, at rest on a smooth table with negligible friction, is attached to block 2 by a string that passes over a pulley, as shown in the attachment below. The string and pulley have negligible mass.

Block 1 is removed without disturbing block 2.

Derive an equation for the acceleration of block 3 for any arbitrary values of m3 and m2. Express your answer in terms of m3, m2, and physical constants as appropriate.

a = (m2)g/(m3 + m2)

Explanation:

Looking at the attached image, if we consider the free body diagram for block 3, by using Newton's first law of motion, we will arrive at the formula;

T = (m3)a - - - (eq 1)

where;

T is the tension in the string

a is acceleration

m3 is mass of block 3

Meanwhile doing the same with Block 2, the free body diagram would give us the formula; (m2)g - T = (m2)a

Making T the subject gives us;

T = (m2)g - (m2)a - - - (eq 2)

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the tension in the string

a is acceleration

m2 is mass of block 2

To solve for the acceleration, we will just substitute (m3)a for T in eq 2.

Thus;

(m3)a = (m2)g - (m2)a

(m3)a + (m2)a = (m2)g

a(m3 + m2) = (m2)g

a = (m2)g/(m3 + m2)

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
