AS FM1 - Elastic String and Springs

[verbal elbow]

Why is Tension going up the string and not down? I understand why the friction is up the slope, can’t seem to get my head around why the Tension moves in the sme direction.

[viscid stream]

I believe tension always acts opposite of the object

1. Further maths in year 11 is crazy just wait lol
2. The tension acts both ways if I'm not mistaken, towards the middle from both ends. Newton's 3rd talks about equal and opposite forces, and those are eachother's equal and opposites

[brittle cove]

Tension always acts towards the centre of the rope

Always toward the centre

And yes like hen said from both directions

Because imagine you pull on a rope - you exert a force away from the rope

The rope doesn’t snap

So there must be a force acting toward the centre

That’s normal maths not FM

I think

idk whether there's a modulus of elasticity with inelastic ropes in A2, also the title says further so I'm assuming further

[verbal elbow]

I see, I just couldn't visualize why but it makes sense now

Thanks everyone
