Part C:
1)
Draw free body diagrams for the hanging mass m1 and the attached
pulleys for the first two investigations.
2)
Using the free body diagrams, determine the tension expected in the
strings in the first two investigations. Compare these tensions to the weights of
hanging mass m2 for each case.
3)
