Concept of the experiment
Two masses slung over a pulley, linked through a string of negligible mass.
Since they are linked by string, they have the same magnitude of acceleration, with heavier mass moving downwards and lighter mass moving upwards.
Theoretical acceleration: Free body diagram
Key Idea: Draw each of the bodies separately, detached from the system, and draw all forces acting on it to find resultant force, and hence, resultant acceleration.
Deriving the equation for m2
For m2 :
Acceleration is upward Net force is upward Magnitude of tension is bigger than magnitude weight of m2 So equation is: T − m
2 g= m
2 a → T = m
2 g + m
2 a . (1)
Deriving the equation for m1
For m1 :
Acceleration is downwards Net force is downwards Magnitude tension is smaller than magnitude weight of m1 So equation is: m 1 g − T = m
1 a . (2)
Deriving the equation for acceleration a
Solving for acceleration a:
Substituting tension from (1) into (2), we get:
m 1 g −m
2 g − m
2 a = m
1 a
→ a = m 1 − m
2
m 1 + m

g (3)
NOTE: We use the values we get from this equation as the accepted values for computing the % errors in Table 1.
Outline of procedure
We will taking different values of masses for m1 and m2 and releasing the heavier mass to measure the acceleration.
In order to do so, we measure the change of velocity of the mass over time and then plot magnitude of velocity versus time, with the help of the computer. Then, we find the acceleration from the slope of the plot.
