We obtain:
(M1 + M2 ) a1 = M2 g
M2
a1 = a2 = g
M1 + M2
The acceleration is constant so the block M1 slides for
x(t) =
M2 g t2
.

Figure 4: Two masses, A and B, lie on a frictionless table. They are attached to
either end of a light rope of length l which passes around a pulley of negligible mass.
The pulley is attached to a rope connected to a hanging mass, C.
The second Newtons law gives us:
MA aA = T
(16)
MB aB = T
(17)
MC aC = MC g TC

TC 2T = 0

The kinematic constraint introduced by the block on the table is aC = (aA + aB )/2.
By solving the system of equations we find:
aA =
2g

1 + MA /MB + 4MA /MC

aB =

Tosimplify the algebra we can use the fact that cot 45 = 1 and cos 45 = sin 45 =
1/ 2. By solving the equations we obtain:
