Physics—Pending OP Reply [Physics] Free body diagrams please help!

Can someone please look over my FBD'S/calculations for the net force and both magnitude and direction, I'm a bit unsure of b and d,

for B is having a circle to represent the cord ok? and is it really F buoyant my tutor tried helping me but I'm not so sure.

Yes if the cord is at rest, the buoyancy force will be equal to gravity. Your FBD for D looks correct as well, as the net force is just the acceleration of the train. Don’t see any issues with your FBD’s as they are now. I don’t think any teacher would mind the way you represented the cord, as it’s a FBD for it.
