Thanks for the reply.
* tension from left-hand rope, acting leftward <---- Wouldnt this only occur if there was friction between m1 the surface on which its on?
Also when you talk about the tension in the rope, am I right in thinking that:-
Forces on m1:
* rope tension, to the right...
I know my questions are sounding painfully obvious, and its easy to point out the answer from common sense, but I am trying to get a more in depth understanding into the exact way things happen. So please don't think I am not applying common sense here, I am *trying* not think in terms of common...
I guess what I am trying to ask is.
(ignoring friction on the eyelet)
- Does all the force pulling m2 down, ie gravity, go into pulling m1 to the right?
- Is the same force pulling m1 to the right, also acting on pulling the rod with the eyelet down? ie is the force pulling m1 to the right...
First off, this isn't a homework question, its a variation on a problem I have in one of my books. I've drawn a diagram below
In the diagram, there are to objects of mass m1 and m2, which are connected by some rope, which is fed through that eyelet on the rod, which is perpendicular to...
Thanks for your replies. My misunderstanding was that friction as a force was always there in its full form uMg, depsite the amount force acting against it. So would this mean that firction has to be calculated last? as you can only apply it once you know the normal force, and also the force...
Hello, I have a few questions with some things I can’t seem to grasp.
1. If objects *without* any force being applied to them move at a constant velocity, which might be zero, ... and objects being *acted* on by a force are always accelerating. What causes an object being acted on by some...
