Thank you Doc Al. Since there is a force applied to m3 there is acceleration, but inside the system the three blocks are stationary.
I am still not sure how to calculate the normal force. Do i have to consider a contact force between blocks 2 and 3? I am having difficulties picturing this...
I tried to do the free body diagram for all blocks but I'm confused about the part that says "the blocks do not move relative to each other". Does this mean that the system is moving with constant velocity? and how do you calculate the normal force between block 3 and block 2?
Thanks for the...
If I don't consider the angular acceleration constant, I believe that I end up with a differential equation, which I haven't been taught!
Please let me know if there is another approach I can take to this question
I need some help with this question:
Two people, who are traveling on a bullet train between Tokyo and Kyoto, are willing to tolerate acceleration magnitudes as large as 0.2 g. The driver wants to change speeds from 250 to 300 km hr-1 on a curved piece of track. If the radius of curvature...
That is correct, the string compression or extension is neglected. We don't know the material of the string either so we assume the string only applies tension.
Any idea on how to solve this question. Thank you?
I need help with this question:
Please see attachement. I tried to solve by making a free body diagram of all the blocks but i don't seem to get to a solution
Any sugestions on how to solve are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
