Problem G. 735. (February 2021)

G. 735. The pulley wheel shown in the figure can rotate freely about a fixed shaft. The masses of the movable pulleys are \(\displaystyle m_1\) and \(\displaystyle m_2\) (\(\displaystyle m_1<m_2\)). In what direction and at what magnitude of force do we have to pull the thread at the left in order to keep the system in equilibrium? (The thread does not slide on the pulley.)

Data: \(\displaystyle R=10\) cm, \(\displaystyle r=5\) cm, \(\displaystyle m_1=2\) kg, \(\displaystyle m_2=3\) kg.

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A kötelet felfelé kell húznunk \(\displaystyle F=\frac{R-r}{2R}(m_2-m_1)g\approx 2{,}5~\)N nagyságú erővel.
