Homework Statement
Find the relation between the mass of block 1 and the mass of block 2. Assume that the pullies are massless and frictionless and that the rope is inelastic. All masses are unknown.
Possible answers: mblock2 = mblock1[/B]
mblock2 > mblock1
mblock2 < mblock1
The system below is at rest.
mblock2 < mblock1
The system below is at rest.
Homework Equations
F = mg = T
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm quite clueless on how to approach this problem, but this is how far I came.
m1*g - T1 = m1*a
m2*g - 0.5*T2 = m2*a
∑F = m1*a + m2*a = m1*g - T1 +m2*g - 0.5*T2
I'm not sure how to go any further.
Thanks in advance for the help!
