    Angular acceleration of pulley with two masses

    torque is : r*F*sin(theta).where both the tensions are 90 degrees from the Axis. so sin(90)=1. here the torque is only r*F. where r is the radius. And I'm having trouble working out what the force is. I know it's somehow connected to the two tensions. Where the tension due to block 1( with mass...

    Angular acceleration of pulley with two masses

    the , I think I need few more hints. well I have no idea how to relate the two tensions to the torque. So I tried using the equation of : a(linear)=r*a(angular). So since the rope doesn't stretch, meaning that if the m goes down by say 1cm the 3m block will go 1cm to the right. So this means...

    Angular acceleration of pulley with two masses

    would it be, m*g-m*a=t1. t1-T(torque)=3*m*a? rearranging we get T(torque)=m*(g-4a). And I could keep working on it to get a. then just do T(torque )/ I = a(angular) . but is the relation between the tensions and torque correct there ?

    Angular acceleration of pulley with two masses

    mhmm, so how would I go about solving it with two different tensions?

    Angular acceleration of pulley with two masses

    1. Homework Statement The system shown in the diagram contains two blocks, of masses 1.9 kg and 5.7 kg, connected by a light string over a pulley of radius 0.15 m and rotational inertia 2.8 kg m 2 . The block of mass 5.7 kg is free to slide on a horizontal frictionless surface and the pulley is...

    Jumping on a Spring-Like Trampoline problem

    ok so , mgh + mgx = 1/2kx^2 . In other words Gravitational Potential = Spring Potential. Which as you said is the one where it's above the spring , and when it's compressing the spring. So Energy is conserved . Rearranging that to find x , We get: x = (sqrt(g m (g m+2 h k))+g m)/k. Where k =...

    Jumping on a Spring-Like Trampoline problem

    what I meant is that . It's one or the other. So the energy potential at the maximum height is the same as the energy potential of the spring when it is compressed. Because Energy is conserved . It goes from Gravitational Potential --> to kinetic ( as it falls ) ---> to spring potential ( when...

    Jumping on a Spring-Like Trampoline problem

    1. Homework Statement A spring-like trampoline dips down 0.07 m when a particular person stands on it. If this person jumps up to a height of 0.35 m above the top of the uncompressed trampoline, how far will the trampoline compress after the person lands? 2. Homework Equations...

    Solving Problems Involving Dog Walking on a Boat

    hi all, here's the problem "A dog sits on the left end of a boat of length L that is initially adjacent to a dock to its right. The dog then runs toward the dock, but stops at the end of the boat. If the boat is H times heavier than the dog, how close does the dog get to the dock? Ignore...

    Tension in rope when the system is accelerating

    thanks guys for your help, I understand it now :)

    Tension in rope when the system is accelerating

    thanks , that works .Could you explain why ? isn't acceleration due to gravity downwards , and the system acceleration upwards . So why do they add up together?

    Tension in rope when the system is accelerating

    hey, I'm currently going through a mechanics course on edx.org . And part of last's week homework was this problem. well okay I don't know how to add images so I'm going to try my best to describe it. There is a platform has a mass of 200kg. From that platform a rope hangs( with tension TA...
