    Strings Tension
Click For Summary
To determine if all strings have the same tension, perform a moment balance around each pulley. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding moment balances in rigid bodies. It suggests that the question appears to be a homework query and recommends posting it in the appropriate homework section for better assistance. The conversation indicates a need for foundational knowledge in physics to tackle such problems. The thread concludes with a closure, indicating that further discussion is not encouraged.

Can you please tell me how to do that?

Have you not yet learned about how to do balances of moments on rigid bodies?
 
This looks very much like a homework question? If so you should really post it in the homework section where you will find a template.

Definitely looks like homework that should be re-posted in Introductory Physics Homework. Thread closed.
 

Thread 'Is energy really conserved?'

I built a device designed to brake angular velocity which seems to work based on below, i used a flexible shaft that could bow up and down so i could visually see what was happening for the prototypes. If you spin two wheels in opposite directions each with a magnitude of angular momentum L on a rigid shaft (equal magnitude opposite directions), then rotate the shaft at 90 degrees to the momentum vectors at constant angular velocity omega, then the resulting torques oppose each other...
