    Solve 2-Mass Pulley System Homework for Moving Blocks

    Long story short-- I've gotten it all figured out. As my professor says, non-calc physics is just a LOT of algebra. Well, yes it is, yes it is. Anyways, thanks very much for all your help and your welcome! Feel free to lock or delete the thread or whatever :) Thanks again :)

    Solve 2-Mass Pulley System Homework for Moving Blocks

    Oh, yeah, ok it'd be cosθ. Because the normal force is the positive y-component of the weight. Thanks for pointing that out. Tension (according to my coordinate system) is in the positive x-direction. OK. So if nothing is moving, ƩFx=0, as per equation 2 and Newton's second law. So ƩFx = T + f...

    Solve 2-Mass Pulley System Homework for Moving Blocks

    Homework Statement A massless string, passing over the frictionless pulley, connects the two masses as shown. Block m1 hangs vertically without touching the wall, but m2 slides along the wall with friction (μs = 0.61, and μk = 0.14). If θ = 53°, how many times heavier than block 1 must block...
