  • A
    $2 : 1$
  • B

$A$ rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is acted on by two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ $(F_2 < F_1)$ as shown in the figure. The tension in the rod at a distance $y$ from the end $A$ is given by:

Three blocks of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected by massless strings as shown on a frictionless table. They are pulled with a force $F = 40 \, N$. If $m_1 = 10 \, kg, m_2 = 6 \, kg$ and $m_3 = 4 \, kg$,the tension $T_2$ (between $m_1$ and $m_2$) will be ........ $N$.

$A$ body of mass $8\,kg$ is hanging from another body of mass $12\,kg$. The combination is being pulled upwards by a string with an acceleration of $2.2\,m/s^2$. The tensions $T_1$ (in the top string) and $T_2$ (in the string between the two masses) will be respectively: (use $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$)
