MCQ
Three blocks $A$, $B$ and $C$ are pulled on a horizontal smooth surface by a force of $80 \mathrm{~N}$ as shown in figure

The tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ in the string are respectively

  • $40 \mathrm{~N}, 64 \mathrm{~N}$
  • B
    $60 \mathrm{~N}, 80 \mathrm{~N}$
  • C
    $88 \mathrm{~N}, 96 \mathrm{~N}$
  • D
    $80 \mathrm{~N}, 100 \mathrm{~N}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$40 \mathrm{~N}, 64 \mathrm{~N}$
a
$a_A=a_B=a_C=\frac{F}{5+3+2}=\frac{80}{10}=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$

A$\mathrm{T}_1=5 \times 8=40$

$\mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1=3 \times 8 \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_2=64$
