please explain why tension is constant throughout a masseless rope in a pully system where the pulley is frictionless, strings mass is negligable, and the masses on each side of the system are different masses... im really confused on the reason why tension is constant if masses are different .

you say

how can tensions forces be equal if their sources are of different weight

This shows a fundamental misunderstanding. The two weights are not the "sources" of the tension. The tension results from the interaction between the whole rope and both masses.

do comment if any doubts.... will reply ASAP

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 449 N from a point 6.1 m above the ground. Obviously if you hang the bundle on the rope, it will snap. So, you allow the bundle to accelerate downward. (a) What magnitude of the bundle's acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? T-mg = -ma Why are most of the solutions...
