Two bags of equal mass m are tied together with unstretchable, massless rope. One bag hangs vertically, while the other is free to slide on a frictionless slope of angle β .
Treat the tip of the slope (which the rope is passing over) like a massless, frictionless pulley. Let g denote the magnitude of free-fall acceleration.
Let down define the positive direction for the hanging bag. What is a y , the vertical component of the acceleration of the hanging bag?
a y =
