Chapter 6, Problem 28PCE
Predict/Calculate The system shown in Figure 6-45 consists of two pulleys and two blocks. The pulleys each have a mass of 2.0 kg, the block on the left has a mass of 16 kg, and the block on the right has a mass m. The system is in equilibrium, and the string is massless. (a) Is the mass m greater than, less than, or equal to 16 kg? Explain. (b) Determine the mass m.

It's a single rope with a single tension force on both ends. Booyah!" B. Emmy: "I think they are different. The tension in the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick only has to hold up Trusty Sidekick, but the tension above Superhero has to hold up both Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. C.
