I believe you mean ##a=\frac{m_2g-m_1g\sin(ø)-m_1g\cos(ø)u}{m_1+m_2}##. Parentheses matter!Jimmyjonny12 said:
An inclined plane pulley problem is a type of physics problem that involves calculating the forces and motion of an object on an inclined plane that is connected to a pulley system.
To set up an inclined plane pulley problem, you will need to first understand the forces acting on the object, including gravity, normal force, and friction. Then, you will need to draw a free-body diagram to visualize the forces and use equations such as Newton's second law to solve for the unknown quantities.
The purpose of using an inclined plane in a pulley problem is to reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object. By using the inclined plane, the force needed to lift the object is spread out over a longer distance, making it easier to lift.
Some common mistakes to avoid in an inclined plane pulley problem include forgetting to include all of the forces acting on the object, using incorrect equations, and not properly setting up the free-body diagram.
You can check if your solution to an inclined plane pulley problem is correct by using the principles of conservation of energy and momentum. If your solution is correct, the total energy and momentum before and after the object moves should be equal.
