Statics and Dynamics Problem Solving RULES! Make a sketch if none given Make FBDs dDON’T SHORTCUT! Choose coordinate axes (wisely!) Write for each direction and each mass Check that you have enough equations! Solve DON’T SHORTCUT! Note: massless ropes have same tension everywhere! (Memorize this fact!) In dynamics problems, you may have to use
