Calculating the Tension in the Strings

Physics Ninja demonstrates how to find the tension in the strings. We draw the free body diagram for the masses and write down Newton's laws and solve for the tension and the acceleration of the blocks

    THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!! I didnt understand this topic when it was taught in class and later gave up for a yr but now we're doing it again and i figured I had to deal with it sooner or later. With your video, I FINALLY understood the concept and can now solve questions on my own. Really grateful, man.

    Thank you so much! That was an extremely clear explanation. For the problem I was solving, the total acceleration was already given to me for three identical blocks being pulled to the right with a force of 55 N. It asked for the tension of a string but it's the same throughout since the blocks are identical. I got the answer now :)

    Really confused at the beginning when you made separate equations for the blocks, so I paused, and singled out all tension variable, and substituted them until they fit in block m1 equation with the Fa. Ended up as Fa = a (m1+m2+m3). Now it makes much more sense. But as you can see, as I un paused, so they somewhat the same thing. I was confused whether the tension was the same in all the ropes.

    Hi, I am confused. For the 8kg block T1 is acting to the right and t2 is acting to the left. But why is ma= T1-t2? T1 and t2 are acting on different objects why will they be able to cancel out each other?

  • @kseriousr

    3 жыл бұрын

    It's a freebody diagram. The objects are analysed in parts. t1 is pulling from the right, but the middle object is also pulling the left most object with a tension force of t2 toward the right. Acording to newton's third law, the left most object is also has to pull the middle object toward the left, hence the -t2.
