Question

Determine the relation between the accelerations? Please provide your steps for finding the answer?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Imposing a vertical acceleration on `m_A` as a consequence, due to kinematic restrictions, we have

`a_2^2 = a_x^2+a_1^2`

with

`a_1/a_x = tan theta`

hence

`a_2^2 = a_1^2/sin^2(theta)`
