    Research question: How does the mass (grams[±0.1g]) on one side of a pulley affect the mass (grams), and create equilibrium? Hypothesis: If the differences in masses (grams{±0.1g}) on each side of the pulley increases, then the mass in the middle of the two pulleys will be required to increase, because they will have to balance out each other’s mass to establish equilibrium. If the mass (grams{±0.1g}) on a side of a pulley decreases, then the mass in the middle of the two pulleys will be…
