Questions  

Three blocks of masses 2 kg, 3 kg and 5 kg are connected to each other with light strings and are then placed on a smooth frictionless surface. The system is pulled with a force F from the side of the lighter mass  so that it moves with an acceleration of 1 ms-2.  T1 and T2 denote the tensions in the other strings. The value of F is

a
2 N
b
3 N
c
5 N
d
10 N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

F=m1+m2+m3a=(2+3+5)×1= 10 N
