Question
In the figure below each of the suspended blocks has weight w. The pulleys are frictionless and the ropes have negligible weight. Calculate, in each case, the tension T in the rope in terms of the weight w. In each case, include the free-body diagram or diagrams you used to determine the answer.
case (a):
T
Free body diagram(s)
Case (b):
Free body driagram(s)
Case (b)
Free body diagram(s)
Explanation / Answer
T=W in all the cases
we can get this by apply net force equations
