homework and exercises - Can two bodies of different mass attached at ends of string passed over a frictionless pulley produce equal tension on both sides?


In my textbook there is given a case that to calculate acceleration and tension produced in string when string is attached at it's ends with two bodies of masses such that m1>m2 and the tension produced at both ends as reaction to the weight is T. How can be tension equal at both ends however the acting force (weight of the bodies) are different?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
