yes i finally got it! :)
somehow i completely overlooked the mass given for some odd reason maybe i just thought that it would only apply for part b
after checking my signs and adding the two equations with the mass given ;) i came up with the right equation to solve for w and the rest was easy...
well I've been looking around on other webpages to see if anyone else was having trouble with this same problem and i found a few of them and in the end i had written 2 equations with 2 unknowns
1) T - umg = m R1 w^2
2) -T - umg = m R2 w^2
i know that when i add them the tensions should cancel...
Hey guys I am having a hard time trying to solve this problem and I was hoping someone could help me out with it because to be honest I don't even have any idea how to start it.
Problem:
Two identical blocks are tied together with a string and placed along the same radius of a turntable...
