The block in FIGURE is held in place by a force applied to a rope passing over two massless, frictionless pulleys. Find the tensions and the magnitude of force .
The cable cars in San Francisco are pulled along their tracks by an underground steel cable that moves along at The cable is driven by large motors at a central power station and extends, via an intricate pulley arrangement, for several miles beneath the city streets. The length of a cable stretches by up to during its lifetime. To keep the tension constant, the cable passes around a diameter 鈥渢ensioning pulley鈥 that rolls back and forth on rails, as shown inFIGURE. A block is attached to the tensioning pulley鈥檚 cart, via a rope and pulley, and is suspended in a deep hole. What is the tension in the cable car鈥檚 cable?
The hand in the figure is pushing on the back of block A. Blocks A and B, with are connected by a massless string and slide on a frictionless surface. Is the force of the string on B larger than, smaller than, or equal to the force of the hand on A? Explain.

Blocks with masses of are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a force applied to the block.
a. How much force does the block exert on the block?
b. How much force does the block exert on theblock?
Blocks A and B in the figure are connected by a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley. The blocks have just been released from rest. Will the pulley rotate clockwise, counterclockwise, or not at all? Explain.
