It's the same diag. but the blocks are A and B and the angle is 30°
Theta=30°
Block A=15kg
Block B=12kg
assume the rope is massless
us=.25=coefficient of static friction
What is T?
My Attempt at a solution
I made FBD for both block A and B
For A sum the forces
Fx=t1-m1gsin30°-f=ma
fy=N1-m1gcos30°=0
Block B
F=m2g-T2=m2a
So I'm looking for the Tension in the rope. Is it just 1 rope or 2 ropes? I really don't know what to do now. Do I find t2 before i find t1? Do I find the acceleration before I find the Tension?
Thank you!
