List all the forces acting on (a) the pulley A, (b) the boy and (c) the block C in figure (4-Q3).


a. Forces acting on the pulley A:


Looking into the fig, we can say the boy is pulling the string in downwards direction using pulley A.


Hence two forces come to action in this case-


1. Electromagnetic force between the string and pulley A due to tension.


2. And the Earth and pulley system has a pair of gravitational force between them.


b.


Now, when the boy pulls the string downwards, the following forces are experienced by him-


1.Electromagnetic force between the string and boy due to tension.


2.And a pair of gravitational force between the Earth and the boy.



c.


Now, the block C is moving in upward direction, hence the following forces are exerted on the block-


1. Electromagnetic force between the string and block C due to tension.


2. A pair of gravitational force between block C and the Earth.
