The correct free body diagram is option (B). There will only be two forces acting on cheese B.
- Given that Cheese B hangs on rope 1. The weight of the cheese is balanced by the tension force on the rope. That is, the cheese experiences a force in the upward direction due to the tension on rope 1.
- Similarly, a wheel of cheese W hangs from block B by a rope 2. This rope has a tensional force that is balanced by the weight of the cheese W. This causes a downward pull on block B due to the tension on rope 2.
By representing the tensional forces by the ropes 1 and 2 as [tex]F_{T1}[/tex] and [tex]F_{T2}[/tex] respectively, the correct free body diagram will be option B.
