Tension in massless string

In a massless string the sum of forces acting on every part of the string must be zero, otherwise, if the force was finite, the string would get an infinite accelleration $a = \lim_{m\rightarrow 0} F/ …

What does it mean to say work is path-independent when pushing an object in different direct...

The work-energy theorem states that the total work done on a particle is equal to the change in kinetic energy. You are doing the same amount of work in either case, but gravity is doing different wo …
