Ahh I see, thank you so much! I am glad I came here for help ^^

I see, so the accelerations are dependent on the constraint and not always on the forces situations such as this one. So for example if I were to determine the tension in the string, since 2T = ma where a must be the acceleration of the pulley, I can determine T = m(a1+a2)/4 and etc. Am I on the...

Ohh I see! That's a really elegant way to do that. Do you think it's possible with forces, just for the fun of it? Or will it be difficult to do that?

Will it be then length of rope = x1 + x2 - 2xp = constant And perhaps take the double derivative of that?

So that'll be length = x1 + x2 -2xp ?

Homework Statement Two trucks tow a third one by means of inextensible ropes and a pulley attached to them (fig. 1). The accelerations of the two trucks are a1 and a2. What is the acceleration of the third truck that is being towed? (fig.1) is in this link (I'm sorry, I don't know how to post...

Hello! My name is Jkyou or James, whichever is preferable. I'm still a high school student but I have a passion for solving physics problems. I share some questions or problems, or sometimes might help someone with their questions. Since I'm practicing for the F = ma exam as well, I hope I'll...
