Calculate the acceleration and the tension in the wire


Boxes a and b are descending vertically supported by a parachute .

Box A has mass of 60kg Box B has mass 45kg and hangs from box a by means of a light vertical wire. Air resistance on the boxes is neglected.

At one stage the boxes are slowing in their descent with the parachute exerting an upward vertical force of 1120 N on box A. The acceleration of the boxes is a ms-2 upwards and tension in the wire is T newtons.

Write down separate equations of motion for box a and box b?

Calculate the acceleration and the tension in the wire?

Draw a diagram showing all the forces acting on box a and box b?
