Can you solve this 2 pulley system ? Leave your answers below 🥸
A person pulls a rope on a 2 pulley system where a 5kg mass has been suspended. The person's hand moves at a constant speed of 1m/s downwards. After 2 seconds, calculate 'd' - the distance the block has moved upward and 'T' - the tension in the string.
Assume the pulley and weights are massless.
A) d = 1m, T = 49 N
B) d = 2m, T = 49 N
C) d = 1m, T = 24.5 N
D) d = 2m, T = 24.5 N
