If the motor M rotates in the direction shown by the arrow as illustrated in the diagram below, what is going on? A. 1 and 2 are going down B. 1 goes up and 2 goes down C. 1 and 2 are going up D. 1 goes down and 2 goes up 49) For the system in the diagram below to be in equilibrium, what is the mass of P in pounds? The mass at the other end of the beam is 5 kg.

C. 1 and 2 are going up

Explanation:

The motor turns counterclockwise, so the pulley above it will also turn counterclockwise.  This means the pulley to the right will turn counterclockwise.  So block 2 will move up.

Since the belt is twisted on the left side, the pulley on the left will spin in the opposite direction (clockwise).  So block 1 will also move up.

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
