would this be all the forces acting on this cart and on the mass (minus friction of course)

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the analysis of free body diagrams (FBD) for a cart and a hanging mass. Participants emphasize the importance of accurately representing forces, specifically suggesting the use of "tension" instead of "Fn" for the hanging mass. The conversation highlights the exclusion of friction as a factor in the analysis, focusing solely on the forces acting on the cart and mass. This clarification aids in understanding the dynamics involved in the system.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
- Familiarity with free body diagram conventions
