Three blocks of masses 2 kg,3 kg and 5 kg are connected to each other with light string and are then placed on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The system is pulled by a force F=10 N, then tension T1=.
Equation of force is given by
F=(2+3+5)a
10=10a
a=1m/s2
Now T1=F−2a
T1=10−2×1
T1=8N
