Are T and T2 the Same in Physics Equilibrium Problems?

[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 6019511, member: 510075"] Well, this is quite obviously equivalent. The main point is that if you have a set of ##N## unknowns you need to draw the free-body diagrams of ##N## different systems where those unknowns (and no other unknowns) appear. In this case, you can draw the fbd of the full system (which in both cases result in the same) and then choose whether or not to draw the FBD of the latter part or the rightmost box. Since ##T_1## is internal it will not appear in any of those FBDs and you end up with two unknowns, ##T_2## and ##a## or (in the first case) ##T## and ##a##. [/QUOTE]
