Problem
A student draws a free-body diagram for a ball that is accelerating upward while attached to a string. The diagram shows two arrows of equal length: an upward arrow labeled "tension" and a downward arrow labeled "weight." What is the error in the relative lengths of the arrows, and how should the diagram be corrected to reflect the ball’s upward acceleration?
