Chapter 12, Problem 34P
Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering
Three blocks are connected by a weightless cord and rest on an inclined plane (Fig. P12.34a). Employing a procedure similar to the one used in the analysis of the falling parachutists in Example 9.11 yields the following set of simultaneous equations (free-body diagrams are shown in Fig. P12.34b):
100a+T=519.72
50a−T+R=216.55
20a−R=108.28
Solve for acceleration a and the tensions T and R in the two ropes.
