All tensions are equal. Each leg is a 1/4 of 100LB load?

T2 and T3 equal each other?

In this case I believe NO. However, if there was slack YES until it stops or becomes static. The pulley torques I would imagine remains.

Because of pulley torque: T1 tension pointing up T2 tension pointing down T3 tension pointing up T4 tension pointing up ?

Because of pulley torque: T1 tension pointing up T2 tension pointing down T3 tension pointing up T4 tension pointing up ?

I believe the pulley shall torque or "rotate" freely towards the leg/section that has the highest tension?

In this case that should not happen. All "legs" are anchored with a dedicated load not in motion (static).

Great question. Not sure.

Your help would be appreciated. I am so confused.

I asume the upper right pulley wire loads will be split in two equally. Therefore, the sum of the loads above pulley equal T1+T2?. To me it appears as if the setup is almost like a 2 to 1 ratio. However, the wires on the left side which are anchored, split the load of the other half of the 2 to...
