Question

Boxes A and B are being pulled to the right on a frictionless surface. Box A has a larger mass than B. How do the two tension forces compare

Answer 1

Answer:

Tension T1 is less than tension T2.

T1 < T2

Explanation:

According to given data,

mass of box A ( mA) is grater than mass of box B (mB)

we can write,

m(A) > m(B)

Newton's second law states that:

Tension of object is directly proportional to the mass of the system.

T ∝ m

here Boxes A and B are being pulled to the right on a frictionless surface,

so Tension T1 generates due to the mass of box A m(A)

and Tension T2 arises due to mass of the system m(A) + m(B)

Thus tension T1 will be less than tension T2

T1 < T2
