what is the net force acting on m1 in terms of T, g, and m1?
The formula for calculating net force on M1 is F = m1 * a, where F is the net force, m1 is the mass of M1, and a is the acceleration.
Tension (T) is a force that acts in the opposite direction of the net force, so it can decrease the net force on M1. However, if T is greater than the net force, it can change the direction of the net force.
Gravity (g) is a constant acceleration that always acts downwards on M1. It is typically included in the formula as a negative value, since it acts in the opposite direction of the net force.
The mass of M1 (m1) directly affects the net force, as seen in the formula F = m1 * a. The greater the mass, the greater the net force needed to produce a certain acceleration.
Net force is typically measured in Newtons (N), tension is measured in Newtons (N), gravity is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2), and mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
