Hello.
I am in need of some assistance regarding a theoratical problem I have. It goes something like this:
Imagine a vertically placed axle, rotating at a constant angular velocity (omega). From the middle of this axle extends an arm and on the edge of that arm is a unit containing...
Initially, when the angle theta = 0, then the force F is obviously divided equally between S1 and S2, but as the angle theta becomes > 0 and the mass m has displaced from it's original position, I would assume that F divides differently between the two S Forces.
It is this division of F after...
Hi Doc.
A diagram is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/helgi2000/Iceland2008/photo#5201292838334570434
And yes, the pulley can be considered massless and frictionfree.
(P.S. I had to put spaces in the URL 'cause I'm new at the forum and they won't allow me to post URL's yet)
Thank you.

Homework Statement
The problem is a 2D one, regarded as seen from above (no gravitational forces are relevant). A pulley is attached to a cable and is pulled with the force "F" towards north. Through the pulley goes another cable and is firmly attached to the ground on one end and attached to...
