Let's say that block A is suspended vertically by a massless rope which you are holding and block B is suspended under block A by another massless rope.
If I am drawing a free body diagram for block A, would the downward force be the weight of block B and Tension as well as an upward Tension? Additionally, if start lifting the system, would there be a force of tension as well as a lifting force on block A upward? I'm confused about whether or not I should write a tension force whenever I see a rope.
