- $$ v= \frac{u}{\cos \theta} $$
Hello everyone, this is a thought experiment I made, it involves two ropes being pulled of a pulley similar to an atwood machine, and a block attached to the two pulleys at the other end. The ropes are being pulled at a constant velocity $ U$ from the end away from the block and the block rises up in the middle. Now, I know the velocity of block,
$$v = \frac{u}{ \cos \theta} $$
but, how would I use this to derive the equation of motion of a mass segment on the string? (supposing the string has mass)
This expression seems quite hard to integrate because ## \theta ## is a function of time, (another difficulty)
Any help would be appreciated :)
