Hi Kushan Many thanks for the help Wow this is a really friendly place Cheers Phil

Yes, the similarity is that the spring is just in a different position, so the spring will read the same no matter where it is in the system. Ta = Tb Is therefore tension force at any point in the rope a pair ( action and reaction ) ( I looked this up ! ) To find the tension in the rope...

Sorry no the question is two masses are connected as diagram D just because the two masses are connected that does not make the force of one of the masses disappear or does it ? We have two downward forces Ok, I will try again One mass hanging has to have a force of 98n, the rope...

Hi Kushan 98n or .98 x mass as isolated in diagram B I am sure that right :smile:

Why is the spring balance 98n and not 2 x 98n

Homework Statement I am trying to learn enough physics to understand forces in climbing anchors and am stuck with an exercise problem that I am unable to understand my misconception. Mass-less rope, no friction. diagrams...
