hey can smone plz help me with this...
Figure 3 ( attachment) shows a particle X of mass 3 kg on a smooth plane inclined at an angle 30° to the
horizontal, and a particle Y of mass 2 kg on a smooth plane inclined at an angle 60° to the
horizontal. The two particles are connected by a light, inextensible string of length 2.5 metre
passing over a smooth pulley at C which is the highest point of the two planes.
Initially, Y is at a point just below C touching the pulley with the string taut. When the
particles are released from rest they travel along the lines of greatest slope, AC in the case of
X and BC in the case of Y, of their respective planes. A and B are the points where the planes
meet the horizontal ground and AB = 4 metres.
initial acceleration of the system is given by : g/10(2x3^0.5 -3)
By finding the tension in the string, or otherwise, find the magnitude of the force
exerted on the pulley and the angle that this force makes with the vertical.
thanks,,
