What is Motion of bodies connected by strings ?
Motion of bodies connected by Strings Two bodies: Let us consider the case of two bodies of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ connected by a thread and placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in fig. A force $F$ is applied on the body of mass $m_{2}$ in forward direction as shown. Our aim is to consider the acceleration of the system and the tension $\mathrm{T}$ in the thread. The forces acting separately on two bodies are also shown in the figure: From fig. $\quad \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mat...
