Lesson: Tension Forces Physics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine the tension forces acting on flexible objects that connect the members of systems of rigid objects.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • calculate the magnitudes and directions of forces provided by ropes under tension that hold objects in equilibrium,
  • calculate the magnitudes and directions of forces provided by ropes under tension that accelerate objects.
