Question 4

From Physics HL Paper 1 (May 2024, TZ2)

  1. Two blocks of equal mass are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The blocks slide at a constant velocity on inclined planes that are at right angles to each other. One of the inclined planes makes an angle θ to the horizontal such that θ < 45°.
