The tension does not approach infinity.
<span>Let's analyze free body diagrams (FBDs) for each mass, considering the direction of motion of m₁ as positive.
For m₁: m₁*g - T = m₁*a
For m₂: T - m₂*g = m₂*a
Assuming a massless cord and pulley without friction, the accelerations are the same.
From the second equation: a = (T - m₂*g) / m₂
Substitute into the first:
m₁*g - T = m₁ * [(T - m₂*g) / m₂]
Rearranging:
m₁*g - T = (m₁*T)/m₂ - m₁*g
2*m₁*g = T * (1 + m₁/m₂)
2*m₁*m₂*g = T * (m₂ + m₁)
T = (2*m₁*m₂*g) / (m₂ + m₁)
Taking the limit as m₁ approaches infinity:
T = 2*m₂*g
This aligns with intuition since the greatest acceleration m₁ can have is -g. The cord then accelerates m₂ upward at g while gravity acts downward, leading to a maximum upward acceleration of 2*g for m₁.</span>
Is the process like this: 38+29=67, then 67-23=44
50-44=6
thus possibly A?
Response: a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318
Detailed explanation:
In Problem 8-4, the computer time-sharing system experiences teleport inquiries at an average rate of 0.1 per millisecond. We are tasked with determining the probabilities of the inquiries over a specific period of 50 milliseconds:
Given that

Applying the Poisson process, we find that
(a) at most 12
probability= 
(b) exactly 13
probability=

(c) more than 12
probability=

(d) exactly 20
probability=

(e) within the range of 10 to 15, inclusive
probability=
Thus, a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318
