Two containers of sand are arranged like the block as shown in figure. The containers alone have negligible mass; the sand in these containers has a total mass Mtot; the sand in the hanging container H has mass m. To measure the magnitude of the acceleration of the system, a large number of experiments have been carried out where m varies from experiment to experiment but Mtot does not; that is, sand is shifted between the containers before each trial.
