A block of mass 0.2 kg is suspended from the ceiling by a light string. A second block of mass 0.3 kg is suspended from the first block through another string. Find the tensions in the two strings. Take `g=10 m/s^2`.

To solve the problem of finding the tensions in the two strings suspending the blocks, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on the Second Block (0.3 kg) For the second block (mass = 0.3 kg): - The weight of the block acts downward: \( W_2 = m_2 \cdot g = 0.3 \, \text{kg} \cdot 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 3 \, \text{N} \). - The tension in the string connecting the second block to the first block acts upward: \( T_2 \). Using Newton's second law (since the block is in equilibrium and not accelerating): ...
