    Problem Text:
    A 5kg mass is placed on a frictionless incline making an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. A rope is attached and positioned over a pulley at the top of the incline. A 6kg mass is suspended from the free end. What is the acceleration of the system.

    Luciano,
    You only need to consider the tension in the rope if you are solving the problem using free body diagrams.

    How would you solve for the hanging mass, if that is what the question asks for. I was given the Incline plane angle, mass and coefficient of friction, and the mass moved at a constant speed down the ramp?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You use the exact same equation and set the acceleration equal to zero. Then you'll solve for the hanging mass.

    thank you for this awesome video. but still i have a question sir. when you got the Fnet how come did you
    disregard Ft? why did you just use
    m2g-m1g sin - m1g cos(mu) / Mtotal?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jay Cho Not sure what you mean with Ft. Are you referring to the tension in the string? Since the tension is an internal force, we don't have to consider it when we look at the whole system. Then we only need to consider external forces to the system. When you draw a free body diagram, then you do need to consider Ft.

    I have a confusion that at 3:08 he breaks mg into its component then he breaks it in a format of x axis and y axis and I have studied that x axis is cos theta and y axis is sin theta then how come he wrote cos theta on y component because if u see then it will be y component of mg and should be sin but he wrote cos ,can anyone tell me why?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Don't automatically assume that the y-component is associated with sin and the x-component is associated with cos. It depends on the situation. USE: sin = opposite / hypotenuse cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I always recommend that we use the definition: Cos (theta) = adjacent side / hypotenuse Sin (theta) = opposite / hypotenuse. Then substitute from the triangle you have drawn.

      We usually ignore friction (since it tends to be insignificant), but if the pulley has mass you must take into account its moment of inertia: see these two chapters: PHYSICS 13 MOMENT OF INERTIA APPLICATIONS and PHYSICS 13.1 MOMENT OF INERTIA APPLICATIONS 2 starting at: th-cam.com/video/dEAtTpIG8AM/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/XHkDJwQ4Xng/w-d-xo.html

      @MichelvanBiezen  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are 2 ways in which you can calculate the acceleration of the system. The way shown does not require that you know the tension. If you solve the problem using free body diagrams, you will need to include the tension.

    I have a quick question, in this case how do we determine if g is negative or positive?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When used in the equations of kinematics g is a vector and the negative sign indicates that the direction of the vector (in this case the accleration due to gravity) is downward. In this example we use the MAGNITUDE of the vector g. Magnitudes of vectors are always positive and can never be negative.

      I see. So now my question is why aren’t we using g as a vector and instead using its magnitude?

    Does this same formula work on a flat surface? Would angle theta equal zero?

    • @MichelvanBiezen

      Yes the equations can be used with theta equal zero, but take a look at the other videos where the surface is flat to see how that is done.

      We try to answer questions when posed on these comments. But we don't have a lot of time to solve individual problems.

    why is 9.8 m/s^2 positive and not negative?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      g is a vector quantity and thus has a magnitude and a direction. The direction is given graphically, and here we are using just the magnitude of g in the equation and the magnitude of a vector is always positive.

    Sir why you ignoring direction because m2 has force in -y direction while m1 has in -x direction ??? We add forces vectorially plzz answer ???

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Notice the arrow drawn to indicate the direction of acceleration of the whole system. In this case (since the pulley redirects the direction of the forces, it makes it much more difficult to use the x-y coordinate system). Also note that the force on m1 is not in the x-direction.

      @@MichelvanBiezen so you add these equation without use of coordinate system bcos according to coordinate system force on m2 is in negative y direction

      They are 100% valid and using the principle of Newton's second law.

    What happens to the tension forces on both blocks?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The tension on the string is internal to the system and does not affect the acceleration of the system. When you draw free body diagrams of each component separately, then you will need to consider the tension.
