is the tension in the string on the rotating system greater than, less than, or equal to the weight of the mass attached to that string
Added by Cheryl J.
Step 1
The two main forces are the gravitational force (weight) acting downward and the tension in the string acting upward. Show more…

Consider the pulley-block systems shown in Conceptual Checkpoint $11-1 .$ (a) Is the tension in the string on the left-hand rotating system greater than, less than, or equal to the weight of the mass attached to that string? (b) Choose the bet explanation from among the following: I. The mass is in free fall once it is released. II. The string rotates the pulley in addition to supporting the mass. III. The mass accelerates downward.
Consider the pulley-block systems shown in Conceptual Checkpoint $11-1 .$ (a) Is the tension in the string on the left-hand rotating system greater than, less than, or equal to the tension in the string on the right-hand rotating system? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. The mass in the right-hand system has the greater downward acceleration. II. The masses are equal. III. The mass in the left-hand system has the greater downward acceleration.
A mass of weight W is attached to a string that is tied to the ceiling. If the mass is pulled to the side and released so it swings as a pendulum, how does the magnitude of the tension force from the string, T compare to W as the mass passes through its equilibrium position?
