Two bodies of masses 15kg and 10 kg are connected with light string kept on a smooth surface a horizontal force F=500 N is applied to a 15 kg as calculate the tension acting in the sting

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given : `m_1 = 15kg , m_2 = 10 kg , F = 500N`
Tension acting in the string `T = (m_2)/(m_1+ m_2) F`
` T = 10/25 xx 500 = 200 N`
