FOUR-STEP PLAN<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1: FBD<\/strong><\/em> – Draw individual<\/em><\/span> free body diagrams of A and B, along with an FBD of pulley C.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Newton<\/strong><\/em> – From each FBD, write down the Newton’s equation for components along the incline. Recall that the pulley has negligible mass.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Kinematics<\/strong><\/em> – You will need to use the cable-pulley system kinematics that we worked with earlier in the semester. Please review the material from Section 1.D of the lecture book to relate the accelerations of blocks A and B.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Solve<\/strong> <\/em>– Combine your equations from Steps 2 and 3 to solve for the accelerations of blocks A and B.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
