One end of a light inextensible string is attached to a particle of mass . The other end of the string is attached to a particle of mass . The string passes over a small, smooth, light fixed pulley. Particle is held at rest with the string taut and the hanging parts of the string vertical, as shown in Figure 4.
Particle is released.
(a) Find, in terms of and , the magnitude of the force exerted on the pulley by the string while is falling and before hits the pulley.
(b) State how, in your solution to part (a), you have used the fact that the pulley is smooth.

一根轻且不可伸长的细绳,一端连接质量为 的质点 ,另一端连接质量为 的质点 。细绳绕过一个光滑轻质小定滑轮。如图 4 所示,质点 被保持静止,细绳绷紧,悬挂部分均竖直。
释放质点 。
(a) 在 下落且 尚未碰到滑轮的过程中,用 和 表示细绳对滑轮施加的力的大小。
(b) 说明在 (a) 的解答中如何使用了“滑轮光滑”这一条件。
解答
(a)

分别对两个质点沿各自运动方向列方程,先求共同加速度及张力。滑轮两侧的绳都向下拉滑轮,所以合力是两个张力的直接相加。

Let the acceleration magnitude be and the common tension be . For , taking downwards as positive,
For , taking upwards as positive,
Adding these equations gives
Substitute into (2):
Both vertical parts of the string pull the pulley downwards, so the force on the pulley has magnitude

回答要对应到滑轮两边的张力相等,并明确提到跨过滑轮的两段绳。
