    Overview of Radiation and Radiography

    I'm surprised to find a thread about industrial radiography on this physics forum! I'm in the industry as well and most people I've spoken to haven't heard of NDT. It's neat to come across information about it on here.

    Using Newton's Laws - A problem involving 3 masses and an incline

    With this attempt, I've determined a new equation for m2 which accounts for both T1 and T2 and have incorporated all three masses into determining an acceleration for the entire system. m2g = Fg2 =(4.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 39.2 N Fg2x = (39.2 N)(sin(20)) = 13.4 N Fg2y = (39.2 N)(cos(20)) = 36.84 N...

    Using Newton's Laws - A problem involving 3 masses and an incline

    Calculations I'm sorry, I made an error with attachment 15.3 as I forgot to add the force vector T1 to my diagram. I've corrected it in attachment 15.4. Attachment 15.5 shows how I've designated the masses and the two string tensions. The problem states: Three objects are connected on an...
