Types Of Forces & Free Body Diagrams
6. Intro to Forces (Dynamics) / Types Of Forces & Free Body Diagrams / Problem 3

The figure below shows two wooden blocks connected through a massless and frictionless pulley using a massless chain. Block 2 is sliding down the incline whose surface is not frictionless. Some of the interacting objects are the pulley and the chain, but it is upon you to decide which to include in the system. Present a free-body diagram for all the objects in the system using dotted lines to connect objects that form action-reaction pairs. Consider the positive x-axis in an upward direction along the inclined planes.
