A pulley is attatched to one arm of a balance and a string passed around it carries two masses m1 and m2. The pulley is provided with a clamp due to which m1 and m2 do not move.On removing the clamp, m1 and m2 starts moving. Show that the change in counter mass to be made to restore the balance is (m1-m2)² / (m1+m2)

hi, case 1: when system is no in motion mass on LHS = mass on RHS = M1 +M2 case 2: when system is in motion tension(T) in the string connecting two masses M1 & M2 on solving the eqns: 1) M1-T=M1*a (a= accelaration of M1& M2) 2) T-M2 =M2*a on dividing these eqns v get: T= 2 (M1*M2)/M1+M2 now tension in string connecting the pulley & balance wud b: (tension on both the side of the pulley) 2T=4*(M1*M2)/M1+M2 mass on for balance RHS = 2T=4*(M1*M2)/M1+M2 now change in mass on RHS = (M1+M2)- 4*(M1*M2)/M1+M2 ={(M1-M2)^2}/ M1+M2 GOOD LUCK & ENJOY THE PHYSICS

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
