AP Physics Problem Help Please!!!!?
Blocks 1 and 2 of masses ml and m2, respectively, are connected by a light string, as shown above. These blocks
are further connected to a block of mass M by another light string that passes over a pulley of negligible mass and friction.
Blocks l and 2 move with a constant velocity v down the inclined plane, which makes an angle q with the horizontal. The
kinetic frictional force on block 1 is f and that on block 2 is 2f.
Express your answers to each of the following in terms of ml, m2, g, q, and f.
b. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the inclined plane and block 1.
c. Determine the value of the suspended mass M that allows blocks 1 and 2 to move with constant velocity down the
plane.
d. The string between blocks 1 and 2 is now cut. Determine the acceleration of block 1 while it is on the inclined plane.
The picture diagram is in the last page of this link: https://www.msu.edu/~hodgkin7/AP/documents/constfo...
Any help would be soooooooooooo appreciated. I need to understand this or at least have the answers so i have something to build off of. Thank you so much!
