Question

Three objects move on a horizontal frictionless surface. If F=12 N, what is the tension force (in N) in

Answer 1

The tension on point 1 for the three objects moving on a horizontal frictionless surface is 4 N.

Net acceleration of the masses

The acceleration of the masses is determined from the net force acting on the mass.

a = ∑F/∑m

a = (3F - 2F)/ (m + 2m + 3m)

a = F/(6m)

Tension at point 1

T1 = m₂a

T1 = (2m) x a

T1 = (2m) x  F/(6m)

T1 = (2F)/6

T1 = (2 x 12)/6

T1 = 4 N
