Well, I think I figured it out, so i'll leave this as solved.

ohh ok sry about that. Pretty much, there are 2 masses. One is hanging off of a pully and the other is on a horizontal surface with no friction attached by that same string on the same pully. On the second mass (the one on the horizontal surface), there is a pole with a massless ball hanging...

Hey guys, I don't mean to be pesky, and I know this probably wasn't the best time to post this, but this thing is due in the morning and i just want to see if it's correct or not... thanks :)

So I just read a couple of other threads about similar problems as this, and I think I figured out the right answer, but I'd like someone to check it if they can... Pretty much, I found the forces on the hanging ball in terms of x and y (like the forces in the x direct and the forces in the y...
