Yes. But any technical explanation for this?

In this same problem, consider if I'm applying a pulling force F1 to make it displace down for x distance. Now alternatively i'm applying pushing force F2 to displace it up for same x distance. Now the force which i need to apply i.e F1 and F2 will be the same or something different. Its...

Thank you for the reply. In case of weighing balance, i guess its because of horizontal bar which is connected to the weights on either side. And when one side is pulled due to the net torque difference it balances itself. Am i correct? But in the case of pulley, there is no net torque...

Thank you for the explanation! Say there is friction also in the pulley. That will also affect this imbalance right?

Im pulling it down by 10mm, after small rest im releasing it again.

This is a basic conceptual question. Consider having a pulley mounted with identical mass of block A and B. If i pull the block A slightly by say 10mm, and then release it. Will these weights try to balance itself due to potential energy difference or will be in the same state?
