I think we use the formulae W=F*d, then use the value of W in the formulae K.E=1/2mv2 to find the speed maybe..
I tried. Not getting an answer that is in the options.. :confused:
I think there is a reason for the given 30 deg. angle.

the question is a bit vague too, coupled with the difficulty. Whats the purpose of the 10cm arrow below 5 kg mass, and were they balanced at the start?

awwwwwwwwww, lol i was thinking by 10cm in the end it meant that the mass had travelled 10 cm :D that was how i was trying sin 30 * 10 = h :cry:
I've tried some weird things, I'm not getting an answer. :(
I'll just ask my teacher, I guess.

and if the two were balanced at start, i tried 5*10 = 1*x making the weight of the 1 kg box 5oN :D :D

look the 5 kg box travelled 10 cm so this can be the perpendicular distance
They've already told us that the 1 kg box moves 10 cm, if you're applying trig. ratios with the 10 cm information, you'd get hypotenuse = perpendicular distance = 10 cm!

If weight of 1 kg mass was 50 N (which means that the gravitational field was 50 N/kg) the 5 kg mass would have a weight of 250 N!
