How Do Forces Interact on a Frictionless Pulley System with Inclined Planes?

AI Thread Summary
In a frictionless pulley system with two masses, m1 is pushed down a rough incline by a force F, while m2 is affected by tension T and gravitational force. The discussion focuses on deriving equations for the x and y components of forces acting on m1, including gravitational forces and friction. Key equations include those for net force, normal force, and acceleration, with emphasis on the need for clarity regarding the angles involved and the setup of m2. Participants suggest using free-body diagrams to resolve forces accurately and emphasize the importance of showing the working steps in the calculations. Understanding the interaction of forces in this system is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

1. A mass m1 is attached to a second mass m2 by a rope that goes over a frictionless and massless pulley. Mass m1 is being pushed down a rough inclined plane with force F. The Angle of the incline is θ1, the force pushing m1 is acting at an angle θ2 . and the coefficient of kinetic friction on the plane is μk

all i need to find it the algebraic solution no actual final answer just equation rearrangement
the x and y component of m1g, T (tension) and μk

equations for x and y components of Fnet

the equation for Normal force

the equation for the acceleration

Ive gotten most of them so far but these ones I am having some sort of mental discrepancy with

b[3]

For acceleration
T-m2g= m2a

Fcosθ2+m1gsinθ1-T-μk(Fsinθ2+m1gcosθ1) =m1a

You need to say what the angles are measured against and what the situation is with m2 ... is it hanging off the end of the rope, on a level frictionless plane... what?

Did you draw free-body diagrams?
To find components of gravity along and perpendicular to the slope, draw the gravity vector on the fbd, draw the axis on it, and resolve the vector against each axis using trigonometry. To see the problem, we need to see your working, not just the results.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
