Two containers of sand are arranged like the block as shown in
Fig.6.381. The containers alone have negligible mass; the sand in them has a total mass
Mtot; the sand in the hanging container H has mass m.
To measure the magnitude a of the acceleration of the system, a large number of experiments carried out where m varies from experiment to experiment bu
Mtot does not; that is, sand is shifted between the containers before each trial.
Which of the curves in graph correctly gives the acceleration magnitude as a function of the ratio
Mtot (vertical axis is for acceleration)?
