    Does Tension Remain Constant in a String with Rollers and a Hanging Weight?

    I got to make sure here is that tension in the spring does not go beyond equal to 200 gms at any point. I believe I already have a tension of 125 gms. Direction of the tension of acceleration is different than tension because of weight. Does that make dieerence or should I just add the two...

    Does Tension Remain Constant in a String with Rollers and a Hanging Weight?

    Yes. Pulleys are ideal. String held tight at one end all the time. On the other end, there is a block attached. In the beginning, block is steady. So, only tension in the string is because of the weight hanging there in the middle of the string. Now, we are moving the block. This will lift...

    Does Tension Remain Constant in a String with Rollers and a Hanging Weight?

    Thanks, Now, instead of string held at both places, if I have some acceleration on one side, does that change the tension in the string? I have attached a new picture which shows the acceleration. The mass will be lifted because of the string motion. I am not sure whether this will...

    And that will be equivalent to the mass hanging. ( T = mg ) Am I right?

    Does Tension Remain Constant in a String with Rollers and a Hanging Weight?

    I have read at many places that tension in the string remains same throught the string. I have a string which is held tight at two ends. It is passing around different rollers. Now, I have small weight hanging on the string at one place. Does this mean that I have same tension throught the...
