Determine if there is acceleration. If acceleration exists, then calculate the acceleration value. $\mu_s$ = 0.35 $\mu_k$ = 0.28 $m_1$ = 7.4 kg $m_2$ = 5.9 kg ![[Untitled.png]] Draw the FBDs for both masses ![[Untitled 1.png]] ![[Untitled 2.png]] Turn the FBD for the mass on the incline Build equations without the Tension Now we see that acceleration is happening, with the acceleration up the incline. Build two equations Merge the equations Solve for acceleration ### Related Topics --- [[Home|Home]] | [[Mechanics]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Kinematics/Kinematics|Kinematics]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Dynamics/Dynamics|Dynamics]] | [[Force]] | [[Net Force]] | [[Newton's First Law]] | [[Newton's Second Law]] | [[Newton's Third Law]] | [[Inertia]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Dynamics/Weight]] | [[Normal Forces]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Dynamics/Friction]]
