Pulley on an inclined plane
How to solve pulley on incline plane
$$a=\dfrac{m_2g-m_1g sin\theta}{m_1+m_2}$$
$$T_1=m_1g\pm m_1a$$ Going up
$$T_1=m_1g+ m_1a$$
$$T_2=m_2g\pm m_2a$$ Going down
$$T_2=m_2g- m_2a$$
Now what if we consider friction now?
Now tilt it a little bit.
$$\dfrac{m_2g sin\theta_2-m_1g sin\theta_1}{m_1+m_2}$$
$$T_1=T_2$$
$$T_2=m_2g sin\theta_2\pm m_2a$$
$$T_2=m_2g sin\theta_2- m_2a$$
