Well, this is quite obviously equivalent. The main point is that if you have a set of ##N## unknowns you need to draw the free-body diagrams of ##N## different systems where those unknowns (and no other unknowns) appear. In this case, you can draw the fbd of the full system (which in both cases result in the same) and then choose whether or not to draw the FBD of the latter part or the rightmost box. Since ##T_1## is internal it will not appear in any of those FBDs and you end up with two unknowns, ##T_2## and ##a## or (in the first case) ##T## and ##a##.CWatters said:
Tension is the force or pressure that is applied to an object, often in opposing directions, causing it to stretch or compress.
Tension is important because it affects the stability, strength, and overall behavior of objects and materials. It is also a key factor in many physical and mechanical processes.
No, tension can vary depending on the properties and characteristics of different materials. Factors such as elasticity, density, and structure can all affect the tension in a material.
Tension is typically measured in units of force, such as newtons or pounds. It can also be measured indirectly through the strain or deformation caused by the tension.
Yes, tension can be altered or controlled through various means such as changing the applied force, adjusting the material properties, or using additional supports or structures.
