Three masses of 15 kg. 10 kg and 5 kg are suspended vertically as shown in the fig. If the string attached to the support breaks and the system falls freely, what will be the tension in the string between 10 kg and 5 kg masses. Take $g = 10 m s^{- 2}$ . It is assumed that the string remains tight during the motion
