Question

Consider the three cases given in figures shown. Assume the friction to be absent everywhere and the pulleys to be light; the string connecting the blocks to other block or flxed vertical wall to be light and inextensible . Let TA, TB and TC be the tension in the strings in figure A, figure B and figure C respectively. Then pick the correct comparison between the given tensions (for the instant shown) from options below.

Moderate
Solution

TA =2kgf.

TB=Total forcetotal mass×Horizontally moving mass=2(1+2)×1=23kgf.

Similarly TC=1(2+1)×2=23kgf.

Hence TB=TC<TA.
