1. Homework Statement
It's an auto closing gate. Two parts of the gate are identical. I had given to find the time taken to close the gate. The distance to close point (P) of the gate from closed event of the gate is given as "a". Sorry for my bad English.
What i need to know is how the two masses (which are m connected by a wire through two pulleys which are on the two gate parts move in relative to the gate parts. Masses of the gate parts are M and magnitude of the inclined plane of the gates are α. again sorry for my bad english. I have attached the image of the problem.
what i need to know is how the masses (m) move.
Then i can mange to work on the acceleration of the gate part and use constant acceleration equation which is s=ut+1/2(at)^2
Oh and no friction is involved and the wire is nonelastic.
This is my first thread on this forum. Sorry for my bad English. Thank You!
What i think is that when two gates are getting closer the masses (m) are going downwards on the inclined plane on the gates.
