Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m2 and g.

Explanation:

Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero

F - Force

T = Tension

m = mass

a = acceleration

g = gravitational force

Let the  given Normal on block 2 = N

and

and the tension in the given string is said to be

When the acceleration

for the said block 1.

It will definite be zero only when Force is zero , F=0.

Here by Force, F

I refer net force on block 1.

Now we know

It is known that if the said

,

then Tension ,

Now making

So If we are to make Force equal to zero

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
