Can someone explain this please? Weird pulley with Tension
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on a physics problem involving a non-standard pulley system with tension. Participants emphasize the importance of drawing a Free Body Diagram (FBD) to analyze the forces acting on the pulleys, particularly noting that the pulleys are not pivoted at their centers. The consensus is that understanding the correct placement of forces is crucial for solving the problem accurately, leading to the conclusion that the answer is option B.
