1. Derive an equation for the acceleration of both the cart and suspended mass in
terms of both masses (Mc and Ms ), the angle of the incline (θ), and the acceleration due to gravity (g).
Fx=
T - Mgsin θ = Ma
T = Mgsin θ + Ma
Fy
T = mg - ma
Combine the expressions for Tension and solve for the acceleration.
A= (mg - Mg sin θ / M + m )

So I combined the equations
T= (ms*g-mc*g*sin(θ) ) / ( mc + mg)
T= ms (g- (ms*g-mc*g*sin θ/ mc+ms) )
[/B]
I'm assuming I factor MS and common denom but it doesn't seem like I'm doing this correctly.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
