40 free body diagram pulley system
masses that are connected and accelerating together. Using the pulley system illustrated to the right below as an example, the basic method for discussed. As in Lessons 15, 16 and 17, the basic method is to draw a free body diagram of the forces involved, write an expression for the net force, and then solve for the acceleration. In a pulley system two masses are strung over a pulley.
