Question

Three identical bodies A, B and C each of mass 2kg are tied to a string over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The tension in the string connecting B to C is.

  1. 13 N    
  2. 0.13 N    
  3. 3.3 N    
  4. Zero    

The correct answer is: 13 N


    a equals fraction numerator open parentheses m subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript close parentheses minus m subscript 1 end subscript over denominator m subscript 1 end subscript plus m subscript 2 end subscript plus m subscript 3 end subscript end fraction g
    T equals m subscript 3 end subscript left parenthesis g minus a right parenthesis equals g divided by 3

    T equals m subscript 3 end subscript open parentheses g minus a close parentheses
    equals 2 open parentheses g minus g divided by 3 close parentheses
    equals 2 cross times 2 cross times fraction numerator 10 over denominator 3 end fraction equals 13 N
