Question

three blocks of masses 2kg 3kg 5 kg are connected to each other with a light string and are then placed on a frictionless surface as shown in figure the system is pulled by a
F= 10 Newton
T1= ??​

Answer 1

Answer:

T1= 8N

Explanation:

mass of whole system = 10kg. therefore, acceleration of the whole system is 1m/s^2. Since it is a frictionless surface, T1 will be the only force acting on blocks 3 n 5 and providing them the acceleration. therefore,

T1 = m x a

= 8 x 1

= 8N
