What does 'inextensible string' mean for two bodies over a pulley?

They accelerate at the same rate

In a pulley system with a light string, how does tension vary along the string?

Tension is the same throughout

Two masses over a pulley accelerate in which directions relative to each other?

Opposite directions

For mass PP of 2m2m moving up, which equation applies (taking up as positive)?

T−2mg=2maT - 2mg = 2ma

Masses 2m2m and 3m3m over a pulley: what is the acceleration in terms of gg?

g5\frac{g}{5}

A 11 kg system accelerates up at 0.50.5 m/s². Find tension TT (use g=9.8g = 9.8 m/s²).

10.310.3 N

Mass A (0.40.4 kg) on B accelerating up at 0.50.5 m/s²: force of A on B? (use g=9.8g = 9.8 m/s²)

4.124.12 N

What does assuming a 'smooth pulley' mean for tension in the string?

Tension is equal on both sides
