Homework Statement
mass 1=mass 2= 5
theta=30
Mass 1 and mass 2 are connected by a rope on a pulley. Mass 1 is on an incline of 30 degrees, and mass 2 is hanging vertically. Find the tension of
The Attempt at a Solution
mgsin(theta)= force of gravity of mass 1 down the incline
mg= weight force of mass 2
mg+mgsin(theta)=Tension
The correct answer is (g(mass1)(mass2)(1+sin(theta)))/(mass1+mass2)
Can anyone please help me uderstand how to arrive at the correct answer?
