Three blocks A , B and C are pulled on a horizontal smooth surface by a force of 80 N as shown in figure. The tensions T 1 and T 2 in the string are respectively:
Options
- A40 N , 64 N
- B60 N , 80 N
- C88 N , 96 N
- D80 N , 100 N
Correct answer
A. 40 N , 64 N
Step-by-step solution
Since, the length of the string will remain same. Hence, all blocks will have the same acceleration. a A = a B = a C = F 5 + 3 + 2 = 80 10 = 8 m s - 2 Therefore, T 1 = 5 × 8 = 40 N . Now, T 2 - T 1 = 3 × 8 ⇒ T 2 = 64 N
