Acceleration and tension in A
string
Calculate Tension and acceleration of two vertical bodies in
motion attached with string

• Consider two bodies A and B attached

with both end of string having mass m1
and m2
• Let m1is greater than m2
• The body A is heavier so it must move
downward with acceleration “a”.
• The body B is lighter so it must move
upward with same acceleration.
• Pulley is frictionless hence Tension will be
same through out.
Force on body A:

• Body A moves downward, hence

its weight W1 is greater than
Tension T.
• Net force on body A =W1- T=
• Net force=m1g-T--------(1)
• So body A accelerate so it
produces acceleration then
according to Newton’s second law
F=m1a----(2)
• m g-T=m a-------(3)
Force on body B:

• As body B moves upward,

hence its weight W2 is less
than Tension T in the string.
• Net force on body B= T-W2
• Net force=T-m2g------(4)
• According to Newton’s law
of motion F=m2a-----(5)
• So, T-m2g=m2a------(6)

Find acceleration and tension
of two bodies , One moves
vertical and other moves
horizontal surface
Find acceleration and tension:

• Consider two bodies A and B

attached with both end of string
having mass m1 and m2
• Let m1is greater than m2
• The body A is heavier so it must
move downward with acceleration
“a”.
• The body B is lighter so it place on
horizontal surface move with same
acceleration.
• Pulley is frictionless hence Tension
will be same through out.
Force on body A:

• Body A moves downward, hence its

weight W1 is greater than Tension T.
• Net force on body A =W1- T=
• Net force=m1g-T--------(1)
• So body A accelerate so it produces
acceleration then according to
Newton’s second law F=m1a----(2)
• m1g-T=m1a-------(3)
Force on body B:

• As body B moves on horizontal

surface, hence its weight W2 is less
than Tension T in the string.
• Net force on body B= T
• Net force=T----------(4)
• According to Newton’s law of
motion F=m2a-----(5)
• So, T=m2a------(6)
