Two blocks (one of which is on a ramp) are attached via a string looped over a pulley. The block on the incline has a mass of 5.0 kg; the block hanging downward (suspended by the pulley) has a mass of 7.0 kg. Assume the usual things (non-stretchy massless string, frictionless lightweight pully, air resistance / friction is negligible, etc.) What angle of incline (measured against the horizontal) allows the blocks to have constant velocity?

Answer 1

Sometimes we cannot answer all questions of all students. Those who show evidence of their own work and do not abuse the service by posting many questions will be given priority.
