Question

The tension $T$ in the thread shown in figure is :

• A. $10N$
• B. $zero$
• C. $98N$
• D. $196N$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $98N$

As the masses are of equal weights so there is no relative motion between the masses.
Let $T$ is the tension in thread.
now, $T=10g=10\times 9.8=98N$ (as $g=9.8m/s^2$)
