The figure below shows a pulley (with mass) with a light block hanging on the left side and a heavy block hanging on the right side. The light block has a downward velocity. Is the tension in the left side of the rope greater than, equal to, or less than the tension in the right side of the rope? Explain.

Person A and person B are pulling on an object unearthed at an archeological dig. They are using ropes at an angle of 30° from the forward position. Each person pulls with a force of 70 N. The force of friction on the stone is 100 N. What is the net force on the stone?
A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.
An Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. The masses have the values m₁ = 29.0 kg and m₂ = 11.0 kg. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that the pulley is frictionless. What is the magnitude a of the masses' acceleration? a = What is the magnitude of the tension T' in the rope?
