Hello, i need help with this. I really tried, but I don't know how to do this example. Thank you very much for your help.
Two bodies with the same weight of 0.5 kg are connected by a fiber in the upper part of the inclined plane, which has an inclination a = 30 °. Determine the acceleration and tensile force of the tensioning fiber. a) when we do not weigh resistance forces, b) F = 0.5N acts on body 1
It would be very helpful to know which body is body 1, but anyway, what you need to do is make a free body diagram and then write the force equations in the x direction and in the y direction. Because of the angle of the inclined plane, you'll end up using sines and cosines. You'll need to know whether the plane and bodies are frictionless or not.
