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}. $
