Sir can you explain iv equation? Why T is included in FBD of M?

Commented by ajfour last updated on 14/Jun/18

small block hangs, tension in string, pulls down pulley attached to big block, pulley part of big block so tension tries sinking big block into the ground, hence appears in fbd of big block.
