What is a key characteristic of an ideal string or rod?
It transmits the exact same force between connected masses.
What must be done to forces to find the acceleration of a mass, especially on an inclined plane?
Components of the forces must be broken down.
What is the usual assumption about a mass on a plane in physics problems?
The mass stays on the plane.
What is an ideal element that masses can be connected by and turn on?
An ideal string, turning on an ideal (massless) point.
What is the benefit of the ideal pulley approximation?
No effort is wasted turning the pulley.
