I can't get it why tension is different in both sides of pulley due to friction?

Rotational mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the motion of objects that rotate around a fixed axis. It involves understanding concepts such as torque, angular velocity, and rotational inertia.
A pulley system is a simple machine that consists of a wheel with a grooved rim and a rope or belt that runs along the groove. When one end of the rope is pulled, the wheel rotates and the other end of the rope moves in the opposite direction. This allows for the transfer of force and motion between two points.
Tension difference in a pulley due to friction refers to the difference in tension between the two sides of a pulley system caused by the presence of friction between the rope and the pulley. This difference in tension can affect the overall efficiency and performance of the system.
Friction can cause a decrease in the tension on one side of the pulley and an increase in tension on the other. This is due to the fact that friction causes a resistance to the motion of the rope, resulting in a difference in tension between the two sides of the pulley.
The tension difference in a pulley system can be minimized by reducing the friction between the rope and the pulley. This can be achieved by using smoother pulley surfaces, lubricating the pulley, or using a different type of material for the rope. Additionally, using multiple pulleys in a system can help distribute the tension more evenly and minimize the effects of friction.
