It is common knowledge that you do not tie a string or rope or chain to an object to push it across the floor.

Strings, ropes and chains can only pull on things! The force of pull supplied by strings, ropes or chains is called the tension force:

The tension force is always directed along the length of the thing doing the pulling (string, rope, chain). When drawing a FBD, make sure that your tension force vector is drawn such that the object is being pulled, not pushed! (While this may sound silly, it is a common mistake in force problems! Just be careful!)
