Answer:
a = [tex]\frac{m}{m+ \frac{1}{2} m_p} \ g \ sin \beta[/tex] , t = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2d}{a} }[/tex]
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we must use Newton's second law
For the block
let's set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane
X axis
Wₓ - T = m a
Y axis
N- W_y = 0
N = W_y
for pulley
∑τ = I α
T R = (½ m_p R²) α
let's use trigonometry for the weight components
sin β = Wₓ / W
cos β = W_y / W
Wx = W sin β
angular and linear variables are related
a = α R
α = a / R
we substitute and group our equations
W sin β - T = m a
T R = ½ m_p R² (a / R)
W sin β - T = m a
T = ½ m_p a
we solve the system of equations
W sin β = (m + ½ m_p) a
a = [tex]\frac{m}{m+ \frac{1}{2} m_p} \ g \ sin \beta[/tex]
let's find the time to travel the distance (d) through the block
x = v₀ t + ½ a t²
d = 0 + ½ a t²
t = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2d}{a} }[/tex]
