Two bodies of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are attached to the ends of a string passing over a pulley. The 4 kg mass is attached to the table by another string. The tension in this string $T_{1}$ is [image:5_image9.jpeg]

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(a) For body of mass 6 kg
$T = 6g = 6 	imes 9.8 = 58.8$ N
For body of mass 4 kg
$T - T_{1} = 4g = 4 	imes 9.8 = 39.2$ N
$T_{1} = T - 39.2$
$= 58.8 - 39.2 = 19.6$ N
