Free Body Diagram Pulley. A choose positive down this time to match the objects acceleration. Sketch a free body diagram for the.
The other end of the rope is attached to a second block. The tensions in the ropes are not the same if they were the pulley would not rotate. The tension force exerted by block 1 on block 2 is the same size as the tension force exerted by object 2 on object 1the tension in a light string is a constant along its length and tells how strongly the string pulls on objects at both ends.
Convert the free body diagram into a more detailed diagram showing the x and y components of a given force.
Exerts a force due to its weight which causes the system two blocks and a string to accelerate. Draw one free body diagram for each object. Now from the free body diagram fbd. A below figure shows the free body diagrams for the two blocks.
