You think correctly: you forget about the acceleration...Lori said:
what do you mean? :(BvU said:
i realized that i should be take the sum of the forces on each object and setting it equal to the Fnet. I only realize this till now! Few more hours until the exam :(!Dr.D said:
In these questions first try to make free body diagram clearly and then write equation accordingly.Lori said:
When a rope is attached to a pulley, the tension in the rope is evenly distributed throughout the length of the rope. This means that the tension in the rope is the same on both sides of the pulley, regardless of the weight or force being applied to the rope.
To calculate the tension in a rope when using a pulley, you will need to know the weight or force being applied to the rope, the number of pulleys in the system, and the direction of the force. You can then use the formula T = (W/n) + F, where T is the tension, W is the weight or force, n is the number of pulleys, and F is the additional force required to overcome the friction of the pulley.
The number of pulleys in a system has a direct impact on the tension in the rope. As the number of pulleys increases, the tension in the rope decreases. This is because the weight or force is distributed among more pulleys, reducing the amount of tension required in the rope to support the weight.
No, the tension in a rope can never be greater than the weight or force applied to it. However, in certain situations, such as a rope being pulled over a pulley, the tension in the rope may be slightly higher due to the additional force required to overcome the friction of the pulley.
To increase the tension in a rope when using a pulley, you can either increase the weight or force being applied to the rope, or you can decrease the number of pulleys in the system. This will require a greater amount of tension in the rope to support the weight, as there are fewer pulleys to distribute the weight.
