Acceleration and Tension:
Ta = Tb + Tc
"why do you say this? Ta must equal Tb"
If Ta and Tb are equal, and Ta is on one side of the pulley, while Tb and Tc are on the other, how can Ta and Tb be equal? If the tension forces on opposite sides must be equal, thus meaning that Ta...
Homework Statement
A light cable passes over a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling. A 10 kg block hangs at one end of the cable and an 8 kg block connected by a light cable to a 4 kg block hangs at the other end. a) Construct a force diagram for each block. b) Write Newton's...
