The block has a weight of 20 lb and is being hoisted at uniform velocity. The system is held in equilibrium at angle by the
appropriate force in each cord. Draw the free-body diagram for the small pulley A.
B
30°
Solution
1. The pulley has negligible size so that it can be modelled as a particle.
2. Imagine the pulley to be separated or detached from the system.
3. The (detached) pulley is subjected to three external forces. They are caused by:
i.
ii.

iii.
4. Draw the free-body diagram of the (detached) pulley showing all these forces labeled with their magnitudes and directions.
You should also include any other available information e.g. lengths, angles etc. - which will help when formulating the
equilibrium equations for the knot.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Draw the free body diagram of small pulley A.

Given:

The block has weight w equals 20 space lb.

The tension in the cord is T.

Assumption:

The pulley has negligible size.

Consider force in cord AB is F subscript A B end subscript.
