Mar 20, 2019 at 23:40 comment added user223571 @knzhou. It seems to me my situation is a little different. In my situation (as it seems to me) the energies that power winches "A" are same. And in the situation in the link the fuels' initial energies were different.
Mar 20, 2019 at 23:20 comment added user223571 In both cases winches B wind the rope with constant, but different rates
Mar 20, 2019 at 23:11 comment added Alfred Centauri As written, it almost sounds as if winch B will act to cancel any winding done by winch A (Winch “B” winds the rope in a way that it keeps the rope streached, but it doesn’t draw it). To be clear, is the winding rate of winch B on each object constant?
Mar 20, 2019 at 22:56 comment added knzhou The setup is a little unclear, but if it's what I think it is, it's a duplicate of this.
Mar 20, 2019 at 22:55 comment added Charlie Do you think you could post a diagram? It would be better to visualize the situation, since this seems very strange. In any case, remember that the total energy of the system (object and winches) should remain constant.
