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...

Homework Statement
The system shown in the figure can be used to measure the acceleration of the system. An observer riding on the platform measures the angle (theta) that the thread supporting the light all makes with the vertical. There is no...
