Question

Two blocks of equal mass are connected by a light string and placed on a smooth horizontal surface. If a force F acts on one of the block then the tension in the string is

• A. $F$
• B. $\frac{F}{2}$
• C. $2F$
• D. $-F$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{F}{2}$

F= (m+m)a
T = ma $\Rightarrow T=\frac{F}{2}$
