Tension in a rope wrapped around a shaft, pulling in a mass
Hi everyone, I am thinking of solving it this way. Since Fc=mw^2r. and Fc=T. Then -dT=dmw^2r. where dm=m1(dx/l). and putting the lower at x=l the tension will be T=m2w^2l. Am I doing things right.- rashida564

Conservation of Energy of the Center of Mass
In classical mechanics, the energy of a system of particles (say with 2 particles) in an external field is given by $$E=\frac{1}{2}m_1|\vec{v}_1|^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2|\vec{v}_2|^2+V(\vec{r}_1)+V(\vec{r}_2)+V'(|\vec{r}_2-\vec{r}_1|)$$ Where V is the potential energy of the external field, and V' is... -
