Physics Aids from a tutor to his student b of 2

NB Since the upper and lower parts of the diagram look the same, the tension in both strings will both of them be equal. Let us call this tension T. Now we put the components of T.

We have !"# forces acting on the arrow $ four components of T and the force . %Note that we &'(#T about the tension T because we are using the components of T instead of T) Now let us calculate the tension T.
