3m M Two Loads Connected With A String Are Placed Over A Prism Mass 2m With A Massless Pulley At The Corner So That 1 (78.37 KiB) Viewed 39 times

3m m Two loads, connected with a string, are placed over a prism (mass 2m) with a massless pulley at the corner, so that one load (mass 3m) is over the inclined slope (angle a to horizontal) and the other load (mass m) hangs along the vertical face. The prism can slide over a flat horizontal surface, and there is no friction in the system. Employing Lagrangian approach, find accelerations of the loads and the prism, assuming that the right load does not loose contact with the vertical face of the prism. Determine the critical angle for the latter condition. 2m
