Homework Statement
Between two parallel walls we tighten a rope. One end of a rope is tied a little higher on the wall than the end on the opposite wall. On the rope we put a pulley with mass m which slides to equilibrium position.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I assumed that in equilibrium the angles with which the ends of the rope are connected with the wall are different. But in the solution states that in the equilibrium the inclined angles are the same.
Interesting.
How can this be explained?
I know that forces in x direction cancel each other out, but I wouldn't conclude that the forces in the rope are also the same.
