[QUOTE=".Scott, post: 6396876, member: 489053"] There are a two things I am not seeing here: 1) A description of what kind of "balance" is supposed to be reached. For example, how would you know if G2 was not massive enough? 2) Solving the weight of G1 given G2 suggests a function. Are you expected to provide that function? On second look - I was misinterpreting dome of you mu's for M's. So the masses are G and the friction coefficients are ##\mu##'s - and there are no M's. And the balance is when you get a specific angle ##\alpha##. If ##G_2## is not massive enough, the string angle will be less than ##\alpha##. You 9's look like 8's or 3's. So what looks like ##\beta = 30° + 30° = 120°## is not. You state the problem using symbols ##G_1## and ##G_2##, but the symbols in your notes are ##G## and ##Q##. This is important when understanding what you are trying to do - never-the-less, you seem to have you Capstan equation set up correctly. But, I do not get 133.37 for ##250/{(e^{\pi/10})}##. The rest looks good to me. [/QUOTE]
