I intended for T to be the tension in the string attached to the first mass. Since the pulley is light, the tension should halve along each successful mass.
I must have typed it wrong in the original post, sorry there.
I could've peeked at the solution manual and end with it at that. However, I'm trying to change this nasty habit and solve this problem myself. I might be too ambitious. Here goes.
Homework Statement
Consider the infinite Atwood's machine shown. A string passes over each pulley, with one end...
Hi everyone,
