Three equal weights A, B and C of mass 2 kg each are hanging on a string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure The tension in the string connecting weights B and C is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Tension between m 2 and m 3 is given by
\(T = \frac{2 m_1 m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} \times g\)
\(= \frac{2 \times 2 \times 2}{2 + 2 + 2} \times 9.8\) = 13 N
