Tension
- The force exerted by a string, rope, cable, or similar object on another object.
- It is always a pulling force.
- It is always directed along the string.
Tension in a String Passing Over a Pulley
- If the string and pulley are massless and frictionless, then the tension in the string is the same on both sides of the pulley.
Blocks and Pulleys Example 1
-
A block of mass m1 = 5 kg rests on a frictionless table.
-
A string is attached to the block and runs over a massless, frictionless pulley.
-
A second block of mass m2 = 10 kg is attached to the other end of the string.
-
The acceleration of the blocks is a = 6.53 m/s^2
-
The tension in the string is T = 32.7 N
Blocks and Pulleys Example 2
-
A block of mass m1 = 5 kg rests on a table.
-
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk = 0.2.
-
A string is attached to the block and runs over a massless, frictionless pulley.
-
A second block of mass m2 = 10 kg is attached to the other end of the string.
-
The acceleration of the blocks is a = 5.87 m/s^2
-
The tension in the string is T = 39.3 N
Inclined Plane Example
-
A block of mass m1 rests on a frictionless inclined plane that makes an angle of θ = 30° with the horizontal.
-
A string is attached to the block and runs over a massless, frictionless pulley.
-
A second block of mass m2 is attached to the other end of the string.
-
If the system is to remain at rest, m2 = 2.5 kg
