A Y2 B Figure 11.19 Problem 11.24 11.24✶✶ Two equal masses m move on a frictionless horizontal table. They are held by three identical taut strings (each of length L, tension 7), as shown in Figure 11.19, so that their equilibrium position is a straight line between the anchors at A and B. The two masses move in the transverse (y) direction, but not in the longitudinal (x) direction. Write down the Lagrangian for small displacements, and find and describe the motion in the corresponding normal modes. [Hint: "Small" displacements have y₁ and y2 much less than L, which means that you can treat the tensions as constant. Therefore the PE of each string is just Td, where d is the amount by which its length has increased from equilibrium.]

Consider the figure shown. Two boxes, one with mass M = 17.0 [kg] and the other with mass m = 3.00 [kg], are placed on top of one another and connected to each other by massless string that passes through a massless and frictionless pulley. This system is clamped to a ramp oriented at 0 = 60.0° above the horizontal so that mass M accelerates downward. There is friction between the boxes with coefficient of friction μm = 0.586, and there is also friction between mass M and the floor with coefficient of friction M = 0.342. UM M m μm Draw the free-body diagram of both blocks. Set the x-axis parallel to the ramp. Write Newton's 2nd law along the x and y directions for both blocks. Let the + axis be directed downward the incline.
