    Three blocks of masses\[{{m}_{1}},{{m}_{2}}\]and\[{{m}_{3}}\]are connected by massless string as shown kept on a frictionless table. They are pulled with a force\[{{T}_{3}}=40N.\]If \[{{m}_{1}}=10\,kg,{{m}_{2}}=6\,kg\]and\[{{m}_{3}}=4\text{ }kg,\]the tension\[{{T}_{2}}\]will be:

    A)  20 N                     

    B)         40 N

    C)  10 N                     

    D)         32 N

    E)  16 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Common acceleration \[a=\frac{F}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}+{{m}_{3}}}\]                 \[a=\frac{40}{10+6+4}=2\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] Equation of motion of\[{{m}_{3}}\]is \[{{T}_{3}}-{{T}_{2}}={{m}_{3}}a\]                 \[40-{{T}_{2}}=4\times 2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{T}_{2}}=32N\]
