Re: How to calculate the force acting on tension

Could someone gives me idea/principle on calculating these forces.

thank you very much
What does the dashed circle in the attached diagram represent? It seems to be labeled "Path of rotation," but I can't tell which object would follow this path, especially since there does not appear to be a point of rotation at the center of this circle.
