Three blocks of masses 2 ~kg , 3 ~kg and 5 kg are connected to each other with light string and are then placed on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The system is pulled by a force F=10 ~N , then tension T₁=
Options
- A1 N
- B5 N
- C8 N
- D10 N
Correct answer
C. 8 N
Step-by-step solution
aligned We have T₁ & = (m₂+m₃ ) F m₁+m₂+m₃ Now T₁ & = (3+5) 10 2+3+5 =8 ~N aligned
