Wouldn't slag put it out of equilibrium? How could you change the pulleys so both boxes can move in equilibrium in the same direction at the same time?

Thanks for all the replys! :) The way I have it though when you move one box the other one gets pulled in the opposite direction. Is there a way to get both boxes to move in the same direction?

I'm not taking a physics class right now. I'm just trying to learn on my own. I think there in equilibrium.

Are these two boxes in equilibrium?

This might be a better way to ask. Is it possible for the two objects to use each others opposing forces to travel without any work(other than friction)?

Is it possible for two objects to travel in opposite directions without any work if they have opposing forces? I attached a diagram to show what I am trying to say. The boxes in the diagram are moving from position 1 to position 2.

I was wondering if it was mechanically possible to stop both boxes from doing work?

Hi, This is something I was wondering about. Can two objects with opposing forces travel in opposite directions without any work(minus friction)? I made a drawing in pdf format to demonstrate what I'm trying to say. My understanding of physics is pretty elementary so I apologize if this is a...
