Two "carts" and two masses on one ramp.
[URL]http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~tkissel/hell.jpg[/URL]
Assume that both of the masses on the ramp are carts with equal masses. Assume no friction in this problem. There is no acceleration. Calculate the unknown mass (on the right side of the problem). The angles are 19 degrees and 32 degrees.
This problem was copied down quickly on the fly, so if I'm missing some crucial information, please let me know.
Fp=mgsinΘ
F=ma
Fw1 + Fp1 = Ft2 + Fp2
(2.5)(9.8) + (9.8)(m)(sin19) = (9.8)(m)(sin32) + (9.8)(m2)
Stuck after this :(
