    Is My Understanding of Accelerations in Irodov 1.258 Correct?

    We are asked to find the tension in the rope. First from the first, we can assume that tensions in both ropes are equal, so we can treat them as a single rope since they are wound symmetrically. That “rope” will act tangentially to both cylinders so it exerts torque, the torque equations are...

    Is Mass Variation Relevant in Analyzing Tape Dynamics Down a Ramp?

    Hello everbody, I found the following resolution: We can consider the winding of the wire as a thin disc. Like this, For a given instant t, we will have M (t) mass of the disc and R (t) radius of the disc. Analyzing linear dynamics: $$M(t)gsen\theta - T = M(t).a $$ Analyzing the...
