This is an example diagram of Atwood’s Machine. This machine works by hanging two masses on a pulley, with each mass being acted upon by gravity. Since the masses are on opposite sides of the pulley, their weights oppose each other, and the net acceleration is less than g. To see this, please draw in all of the relevant forces in the diagram below. Be sure to indicate which direction friction in the pulley is acting. Assume m1 > m2

Instead of using the system shown in Figure.a to raise the mass m2, an engineer proposes to use two simple machines, the pulley and the inclined plane, to reduce the weight required to lift m2. The proposed design is shown in Figure.b. The pulley inertias are negligible. The available horizontal space limits the angle of the inclined plane to no less than 30°. Suppose that the friction between the plane and the mass m2 is negligible. Identify the equation to determine the smallest value m1 that can lift m2. (The answer should be a function of m2 and θ.)
