How to Solve Physics Problems with Fixed Pulleys in a Free Body Diagrams - By PhysicsPAL

In this lecture I explain how to draw a free body diagram when massless frictionless fixed pulleys change the direction of tension forces. I show you a really neat trick for solving the problem efficiently by combining two objects connected by a cord into a single Free Body Diagram. This will dramatically reduce the amount of tedious algebra needed to solve the problem.
