Question

Three blocks are connected on a horizontal frictionless table by two light strings, one between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , another between $m_{2}$ and $m_{3}$ . The tensions are $T_{1}$ between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ and $T_{2}$ between $m_{2}$ and $m_{3}$ . if $m_{1}$ = 1 kg , $m_{2}$ = 8 kg, $m_{3}$ = 27 kg and F = 36 N applied on $m_{3}$ , then $T_{2}$ will be

Solution

The correct option is B 9 N

Since string will always be taut therefore $m_{1}$ $,$ $m_{2}$ and $m_{3}$ will move with same acceleration,
Equation of motion $m 1$ , $m 2$ , $m 3$ assembly is
$m_{1}$ $a +$ $m_{1}$ $a +$ $m_{2}$ $a$ = F
$a =$ $F / (m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3})$
Now considering motion of block with mass m_{3} seperately,
$F - T_{2} = m_{3} a$
Subsituting value of $F, a$ and $m_{3}$
we get $T_{2} = 9 N$
