M1 M2 R friction The figure above illustrates a system comprising a rigid support structure having a cross-sectional shape of a right-triangle. The angle at the top is equal 90° and the angle on the lower-left is 0. The bottom side (hypotenuse) is horizontal and the two remaining sides serve as left-side and right-side inclined planes. A 1* block having mass Mi is positioned on the left-side inclined plane and a 2nd block having mass M2 is positioned on the right-side inclined plane. An ideal rope under tension T extends from the 1* block parallel to the left-side plane toward an ideal fixed-axis pulley located at the top of the structure. The rope extends over the pulley and then continues parallel to the right-side plane to the 2nd block. The right-side plane is friction-less but the left-side plane has a coefficient of static friction

e) Use Newton's 2nd law to construct 4 force equations that relate the magnitudes of the forces acting
on the blocks. These equations must be consistent with the conditions described above, such that the
equations are not overly general.

The figure above illustrates a system comprising a rigid support structure having a cross-sectional
shape of a right-triangle. The angle at the top is equal 90° and the angle on the lower-left is 0. The
bottom side (hypotenuse) is horizontal and the two remaining sides serve as left-side and right-side
inclined planes. A 1ª block having mass Mi is positioned on the left-side inclined plane and a 2nd block
having mass M2 is positioned on the right-side inclined plane. An ideal rope under tension T extends
from the 1st block parallel to the left-side plane toward an ideal fixed-axis pulley located at the top of
the structure. The rope extends over the pulley and then continues parallel to the right-side plane to the
2nd block. The right-side plane is friction-less but the left-side plane has a coefficient of static frietion
