Question

I need help to solve the angle in this equation.

Assume F+ =F-

F+ = m2g-m1gsin θ 
F- = m1gsin θ-m2g

(m+2g-m1gsin θ ) = (m1gsin θ-m-2g)

θ= ???

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

F+ = F-

F+ = m2g - m1g sinθ

F- = -m2g + m1g sinθ

using F+ = F- :

m2g - m1g sinθ=-m2g + m1g sinθ

Now we will take θ terms on left hand side and other terms to right hand side.

 - m1g sinθ - m1g sinθ=-m2g -m2g 

 -2 m1g sinθ = -2 m2g 

sinθ = -2m2g-2m1g = m2m1
