Three blocks M₁, M₂, M₃ having masses 4 kg, 6 kg and 10 kg respectively are hanging from a smooth pully using rope 1, 2 and 3 as shown in figure. The tension in the rope 1, T₁ when they are moving upward with acceleration of 2 m s⁻² i $s ______$ N (if g = 10 m/s²)

Question

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Image Rope 1 supports all three blocks. Total mass: M = 4 + 6 + 10 = 20 kg For upward acceleration a = 2 m/s²: T₁ - Mg = Ma Therefore: T₁ = M(g + a) = 20(10 + 2) = 240 N
