Question
A free body diagram of an Atwood's pulley on an inclined plane has two masses, M and m,
attached to a frictionless pulley where in M is placed on the slope of a frictionless incline
while m is hanging on the other end of the pulley. If the angle of inclination is 0, which of
the following equations would be the correct derivation of acceleration, knowing that
masses M > m?
a = = (Mgcose - mg)/(M - m)
a = (Mgcos-mg)/(M + m)
O a= (Mgsin0 mg)/(M - m)
a = = (Mgsin0 mg)/(M + m)
