im trying to do this AP problem that involves a block on a table attached to a string which hangs over a pulley. in Case I 50 N is applied to the string and in Case II a 5 kg block is attached. the tension in Case I is 50, but according to my packet in case II the tension in Case II is 40. why would 50 N applied directly be more tension than Fw = 5x10 = 50 N?
