Question
Two bodies of masses 15 kg and 10 kg are connected with light string kept on a smooth surface. A horizontal force F=500 N is applied to a 15 kg as shown in the figure. Calculate the tension acting in the string?
Solution
Given,
m1 = 15 kg, m2 = 10 kg, F = 500 N
Tension acting in the string T = `m_2/(m_1+m_2)` F
T = `10/25` × 500 = 200 N
