Well don't I have the equations in my FBD? For example the tension force caused by "m" is F=mg, and the two tensions for the strings holding "m" up are F=mg/2? I am just confused on what to do next. We have never done any problems like this

Here is the problem with the picture
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I drew the free body diagrams for each block. Basically I am solving for FM1 on FM3 and FM3 on FM1 (I know that they are equal). I figured that the Net Force is 3N so i...

F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I was pretty confused with this problem. All I think I know is that the force being pulled downward on M is F=mg/2. Can someone...
Homework Statement
A mass M is held in place by an applied force , FA , and the pulley system shown in the figure below. The pulleys are massless and frictionless. Express the tension in each section of the rope, FT1, FT2, FT3, FT4, and FT5, as well as the applied force, FA , in terms of M...
Homework Statement
Hi, I'm in a calculus base physics course in college so i thought this forum would be appropriate to post this question. The question is as follows:
"A cannonball leaves the end of the cannon with an initial velocity of 67 m/s. Assuming a level terrain, at what angle(s)...
