The magnitude of acceleration of the entire system is [tex]2.1315 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]. Hence, option (5) is correct.
Given data:
The masses suspended from the table are, m = 2 kg and m' = 4 kg.
And the mass kept on the table is, m'' = 4 kg.
The frictional force will oppose the motion of mass 4 kg, kept on the table. Then the required value of frictional force is,
[tex]f = \mu \times m'' \times g\\\\f = 0.11 \times 4 \times 9.8\\\\f = 4.312 \;\rm N[/tex]
Since, the mass kept on the right side is more. Then at equilibrium,
-f + m''g + (m' +m)a = m'g
Here,
a is the magnitude of acceleration of the system.
Solving as,
-4.312+ 4(9.8) + (4 -2)a = 4(9.8)
2a = 4.312
[tex]a \approx 2.1315 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of acceleration of the entire system is [tex]2.1315 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]. Hence, option (5) is correct.
