Solving Dynamics of Rigid Bodies with Connected Loads and Inclined Forces

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the dynamics of three connected loads on a horizontal rough plane, influenced by an inclined force. The weights of the loads are G, 2G, and 3G, with a friction coefficient of 1/3. A force F, equal to 10G√2 and applied at a 45° angle, is acting on the first load. Participants are seeking guidance on determining the force in the rope and the acceleration of the loads. Suggestions and insights on the correct approach to solving the problem are requested.

How so solve this? Help

Loads 1, 2 and 3 are connected to each other with light unstretchable rope and are on a horizontal rough (friction μ = 1 / 3) plane. Loads weights are: G, 2G, 3G. Force F acts at first load with intensity F = 10G√2 inclined at 45 °. Determine the force in the rope and the acceleration of loads moving under force F.

My typing doesn't seams to be correct so I uploaded attachment.
I have tried this in solving problem. Can it be done like that if not how should I solve it?

Thanks

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
