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):
Solve for acceleration a and the tensions T and R in the two ropes.
