a. Free body diagrams
The forces acting on the block of mass m1= 8.0 kg are the tension in the thread T1 vertically upward and the weight of the block m1 g (g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2) vertically ...
Solution Summary
The three objects which are connected on an inclined table is determined.
