A block of mass m is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. One end of a uniform rope of mass m 3 is fixed to the block, which is pulled in the horizontal direction by applying force F at the other end. The tension in the middle of the rope is
Options
- A8 6 F
- B1 8 F
- C1 5 F
- D7 8 F
Correct answer
D. 7 8 F
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration of the system a = F m + m 3 ∴ Tension in the middle of the rope T = m + m 6 a o r T = 7 m 6 ⋅ 3 F 4 m = 7 8 F
