- Homework Statement
- We have two masses (M and m) , which are conncected with a massless rod with a length L and placed on a frictionless slope. Find the equilibrium with respect to Φ(horizontal angle).
- Relevant Equations
- τ=rxF
Components of gravitational force on M: normal force:M*g*cos(90-α)M*g*sin(α)
Downhill force: M*g*sin(90-α)=M*g*cos(α)
On m: normal force: m*g*cos(α)
Downhill force: m*g*sin(α)
Downhill force: M*g*sin(90-α)=M*g*cos(α)
On m: normal force: m*g*cos(α)
Downhill force: m*g*sin(α)
