The Problem I chose for this project was a pulley question. The question is asking for the tension of the rope and asking for the acceleration of a pulley that has a 6kg weight and a 4kg weight. I first had to find F drop which was Mass times Gravity and did the same for F stop. I then added the two forces together, but in reality, subtracted the f stop from the f drop. This gave me the sum of forces. Then I used the sum of forces divided by the total weight, to find the acceleration. The acceleration was negative because it’s going down. Now that I have the acceleration, I can figure out the tension of the rope. Since T1=T2, I only need to find the tension for one of them. The formula for Tension is T=Mg+Fg, and I just needed to input the numbers to get the tension. My answer out of this was 47N of tension on the rope.

As shown in the pictures, I had 5 different prototypes of this project before I reached my final one. I added the writing to the blocks to make it look more interesting, I added many different pieces through the process in order to make it work and look better.

Overall I printed 3 different pieces, 2 of the blocks, and the base with the pulley. I added rope and glue in order to complete the pulley. I had to take off some of the extras from the print in order for it to look better. I added circles in the pulley wheel, which made the overall look nicer.
