In the figure shown, the system is accelerated upwards with 2m/s2 by an external force F∘. Find the value of Fo and tension at the mid point of the rope. Take g=10m/s2.

Solution
The correct option is B120N,48N For calculating the value F∘, consider two blocks with the rope as a system. FBD of the whole system,
Fo−100=10×2 Fo=120N For calculating the tension at the middle point, we draw FBD of 3kg block with half of the rope (mass 1kg) as shown. T−4g=ma=4×2 T=48N
