JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th January Morning Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 31 English Explanation 1

Let's consider TT tension in string and a acceleration of blocks.

FBD of 4 kg4 \mathrm{~kg}

JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th January Morning Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 31 English Explanation 2

4gsin⁡θ−T=4a4 g \sin \theta-\mathrm{T}=4 \mathrm{a}

4g32−T=4a\frac{4 g \sqrt{3}}{2}-T=4 a .........(1)

FBD of 1 kg1 \mathrm{~kg}

JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th January Morning Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 31 English Explanation 3

T−gsin⁡30∘=aT-g \sin 30^{\circ}=a

T−g2=a...(2)T-\frac{g}{2}=a \quad\quad...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

4g32−g2=5a{{4g\sqrt 3 } \over 2} - {g \over 2} = 5a

⇒\Rightarrow g(43−1)2=5a{{g\left( {4\sqrt 3 - 1} \right)} \over 2} = 5a

⇒\Rightarrow 5a=10(43−1)25a = {{10\left( {4\sqrt 3 - 1} \right)} \over 2}

⇒\Rightarrow a=(43−1)a = \left( {4\sqrt 3 - 1} \right) m/s2

By putting value of "a" in equation (2), we get

T−102=(43−1)T - {{10} \over 2} = \left( {4\sqrt 3 - 1} \right)

⇒\Rightarrow T=(43−1)+5T = \left( {4\sqrt 3 - 1} \right) + 5 = (43+4)\left( {4\sqrt 3 + 4} \right)

⇒\Rightarrow T=4(3+1)NT=4(\sqrt{3} + 1) N
