Question

On a force table, a thread has a brass cylinder attached to it weighing 100 grams. Earth's gravity pulls this weight (0.1 kg) downward with 0.98 N of force, and therefor the same amount of weight is applied to the cylinder (0.98). However,

a. Why isn't the cylinder falling to the floor?

b. Why is the cylinder not rising to hit the pulley? 

c. How strongly do you think the thread's loop is pulling upward?
