Homework Statement
2 equal masses (massA, massB) are raised up a pulley, at a constant velocity. massB has a velocity twice as fast as massA. What is the force acting on these 2 masses?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
If it is a constant velocity, the upwards force must be equal to mg correct? So Fa=mg, Fb=mg. But if this is the case, how is it possible massB moves twice as fast as massA without an additional force acting on it?
I am confused, can anyone out there help me please?
