Question

Constants I Periodic Table Part A In the device shown in the diagram, both slopes are frictionless. The steeper left hand side of the triangular prism makes an angle of 64 with the horizontal, while the gentler right hand slope makes an angle of 26° with the horizontal. The masses are in static equilibrium-they sit stationary and do not slide along the slopes. What is the ratio of the mass on the left to the mass on the right?

Explanation / Answer

on left block:

along the incline, Fnet = T - M_left sin64 = 0


On right side Block:

Fnet = T - M_right sin26 = 0


M_left / M_right = sin26 / sin64


= 0.49 ........Ans
