In this lesson, we will learn how to solve problems on the motion of two bodies connected by a string passing over a smooth pulley with one of them on an inclined plane.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

find missing forces and masses in a system involving one body on an inclined plane, connected to another body suspended below a smooth pulley,
use Newton’s second law of motion and the equations of motion to solve inclined plane and pulley problems,
find the force exerted on the pulley connecting a mass on an inclined surface to a vertically hanging mass.
