Question

Three blocks are connected on a horizontal frictionless table by two light strings, one between m1and m2, another between m2 and m3. The tensions are T1 between m1 and m2 and T2between m2 and m3. if m1= 1 kg , m2= 8 kg, m3= 27 kg and F = 36 N applied on m3, then T2 will be

Solution

The correct option is B 9 N

Since string will always be taut therefore m1,m2 and m3 will move with same acceleration,
Equation of motion m1, m2, m3 assembly is
m1a+m1a+m2a = F
a=F/(m1+m2+m3)
Now considering motion of block with mass m_{3} seperately,
FT2=m3a
Subsituting value of F,a and m3
we get T2=9N
