Calculate the tension in the string shown in figure. The pulley and the string are light and all surfaces are frictionless. Take g=10 m/`s^2`.

A

0N

B

1N

C

2N

D

5N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(Easy) The acceleration of block of mass `m_(1)` is

`a=(m_(1))/(m_(1)+m_(2))g=5 m//s^(2)`
From FBD of block `m_(1)`
`m_(1)g-T=m_(1)a`
`rArr T=m_(1)(g-a) =1xx5 =5N`
