Two logs with masses and that are connected by a rope that is passed over a light pulley lie on a slope as shown in figure 1 below:
The slopes are inclined at angles and to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the logs and the slope is . The log with mass is held above the second log with mass and both are released at some point.
What is the distance the logs will have to travel for them to be at the same height?
What is the acceleration of the logs?
How long does it take the logs to be at the same height after they start moving?
What is the speed of the logs at that time?
