a 1kg box on a 30degree frictionless incline is connected to a 3kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface. The pulley is frictionless and massless.
A)if the magnitude of F is 2.3N what is the tension in the connecting cord?
I found all of my formulas
M1 "X" direction-----T-M1g = M1a EQ 1
"Y" direction-----N-M1g = 0 EQ 2
M2 "X" direction-----(T-M2cos30) = M2a EQ 3
"Y"--------------(N-M2gcos60) = 0 EQ 4
anyways..is it as simple as substituting the F value given into eq 1?
i.e- T-M1g = F
