May 4, 2016 at 8:48 comment added xasthor And why does the pseudo force method lead to an answer that is "biased" towards m2 accelerating upwards relative to the ground? i.e assuming m2 will be accelerating upwards from the ground frame?
May 4, 2016 at 8:47 comment added xasthor I have HC Verma too :P My main question is: They have presumed m2 to be accelerating downwards w.r.t the ground frame. If it was actually accelerating upwards w,r,t the ground frame, how would this relation work?
