A trolley of mass 20 kg rests on a horizontal surface. A massless string tied to the trolley passes over a frictionless pulley and a load of 5 kg is suspended from other end of string. If coefficient of kinetic friction between trolley and surface is 0.1, find the acceleration of trolley and tension in the string. (Take, g =10 ms-2)

Net force experience by 5kg block is 5g-T=5a-------(1) Net force experience by 20kg trolly in horizontal direction is T-fr=20a-------(2) Since there is not any driving force in vertical direction acting on trolly ,trolly is in vertical equilibrium. Normal force,N in upward direction must be equal to...

Net force experience by 5kg block is 5g-T=5a-------(1) Net force experience by 20kg trolly in horizontal direction is T-fr=20a-------(2) Since there is not any driving force in vertical direction acting on trolly ,trolly is in vertical equilibrium. Normal force,N in upward direction must be equal to gravitational force,20g in downward direction N=20g Friction force,fr=uN,where u is kinectic friction Fr=0.1*20g---(3) From eq 1,2and 3 Solve for a,a=3g/25=1.2m/s2 read less

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².

Is it possible, the displacement can be greater than the distance travelled by an object?
No, aa for euclidean space, the displacement is always greater than or equal to the distance travelled as goes by it's definition that it is the shortes way possible to reach from point A to point B. And...
