In this video (Part 4 of the Mechanics Problem-Solving Series), we explore two important examples based on constraints in pulley–string systems.
These problems help students understand how the motion of one part of a system automatically restricts the motion of the others.
We solve two advanced but essential constraint-based examples:
✅ Example 1: Two tensions + constraint relation
A string is attached to the ceiling, passes over a pulley, one end goes to a block on a horizontal surface, and a mass is hanging on the pulley.
You will learn:
How to find tension in both strings
How to write the constraint equation
How the movement of one block affects the other
How to calculate accelerations of both bodies
FBDs for constraint relations, multi-body systems
This example builds the foundation for all complex JEE/NEET pulley questions.
✅ Example 2: Ends P and Q moving downward with speed U
An unstretchable string has ends P and Q both moving downward with uniform speed U.
Two pulleys A and B are fixed.
A block of mass M is attached, making an angle θ with the fixed pulleys.
You will learn:
How to apply length-constraint method
How to differentiate the length equation to get velocity relations
How to find the upward speed of mass M
Why the motion of the ends forces the block to move
How angles affect velocity relations in strings
This is a classic constraint motion problem, often seen in JEE Advanced.
This video is perfect for:
✔ Class 11 Physics students
✔ JEE Main + Advanced aspirants
✔ NEET Physics aspirants wanting strong mechanics fundamentals
✔ Anyone who wants deep conceptual clarity in Newton’s Laws + Constraints
By the end of this video, you will confidently solve multi-string, multi-pulley, constraint-based problems using logic—not memorization.
