A wheel in a vertical plane with three masses on its rim in static equilibrium.
A wheel in a vertical plane with three masses on its rim in static equilibrium.
A wheel of radius \(R\) and negligible mass is mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle so that the wheel is in a vertical plane. Three small objects having masses \(m\), \(M\), and \(2M\), respectively, are mounted on the rim of the wheel, as shown above. If the system is in static equilibrium, what is the value of \(m\) in terms of \(M\)?
