Q.

Two blocks of masses 2.9 kg and 1.9 kg are suspended from a rigid support ‘S’ by two inextensible wires each of length 1 meter, as shown in the figure. The upper wire has negligible mass and the lower wire has a uniform mass of 0.2 kg/m. The whole system of blocks, wires and support  have an acceleration of 0.2 m/s2 (g=9.8m/s2) Then the tension at the mid point of the upper wire is

Detailed Solution

Here Tension at P = T
From the equation of motion for point P
T- (2.9 + 1.9 + 0.2) g 
= (2.9 + 1.9 + 0.2)0.2 or 
T = (5) (0.2 + 9.8) 
=5×10=50N
