Laws Of Motion Question 305

Question: If two masses (M & m) are connected on a horizontal plane and a force is applied on the combination, then the tension T depends on the

Options:

A) force applied on the system

B) whether force is applied on M or m

C) both [a] and [b]

D) Can’t be predicted.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] When force is applied on $ m _{1} $

Then $ T=m _{2}a $ and when force is applied on$ m _{2} $ , then $ T=m _{1}a $ .

Thus value of T is different for each case.

And it depends on whether the force is applied on$ m _{1},orm _{2}. $
