Ah you are dealing with the consequences of imputing a particular method
of holding the small mass and ribbon. You visualize a stretchable ribbon
(shame on you, this is meant to be a physicist';s ribbon! :-) and
the upward force is I suppose an upslope foce to balance the down slope
gravity vector.
For some reason, I imagined a clamp appling a normal force to the small
mass, so the large block can stretch the ribbon as desired while the
ramps grow more
high-pitched, so to speak.... would that resolve the issue?
