Three masses are atteched to strings rotaing in the horizontal plank .The string pass over two naine as shown in fig will this system be in equilibrium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Considering the string over the left mail , the vertical components of the force of tension `T` acting on the weights are so the tension in the string above `O` is `T = 2 mg`
For the string on the right , the verticle component of the strings tension `T' is equal to `2 mg` (if the mass does not move down ) The tension of the along itself , however is `T = (2mg)/(cos theta) ge 2 mg` Therefore,the system is not in equalibrium .The right hand mass will have a greater pull.
