Solving Dynamics of Rigid Bodies with Connected Loads and Inclined Forces

In summary, the conversation is about solving a problem involving the dynamics of rigid bodies connected by a rope on a rough horizontal plane. The problem includes loads of different weights and a force acting on the first load at a 45 degree angle. The person is asking for help in solving the problem and has provided a link to a diagram they have attempted to use. They are open to suggestions and thoughts on how to solve the problem.

How so solve this? Help

Loads 1, 2 and 3 are connected to each other with light unstretchable rope and are on a horizontal rough (friction μ = 1 / 3) plane. Loads weights are: G, 2G, 3G. Force F acts at first load with intensity F = 10G√2 inclined at 45 °. Determine the force in the rope and the acceleration of loads moving under force F.

My typing doesn't seams to be correct so I uploaded attachment.
I have tried this in solving problem. Can it be done like that if not how should I solve it?

Thanks

1. What is a rigid body?

A rigid body is an object in which all of its points maintain a constant distance from one another, regardless of any external forces acting upon it. This means that the object does not deform or change shape when subjected to forces, making it a useful concept in the study of mechanics.

2. What is the difference between a rigid body and a non-rigid body?

A non-rigid body is an object that can deform or change shape when subjected to external forces, while a rigid body maintains its shape and size. In other words, a rigid body is a special case of a non-rigid body where no deformation occurs.

3. What is the center of mass of a rigid body?

The center of mass of a rigid body is the point at which the entire mass of the body can be considered to be concentrated. This point is important in analyzing the motion of a rigid body, as it acts as the point where all external forces can be applied to.

4. How is the motion of a rigid body described?

The motion of a rigid body is described using rotational and translational motion. Translational motion refers to the motion of the body in a straight line, while rotational motion refers to the motion of the body around its center of mass.

5. What is the moment of inertia of a rigid body?

The moment of inertia of a rigid body is a measure of its resistance to rotational motion. It is dependent on the mass distribution of the body and the axis of rotation. A higher moment of inertia means that more force is required to cause the body to rotate.
