Q. A light string passes over a frictionless pulley. To one of its ends a mass of $6\, kg$ is attached. To its other end a mass of $10 \, kg$ is attached. The tension (in newton) in the thread will be $\left[\right.$ Take $g=9.8\, m / s ^2$ ]Physics Question Image

Laws of Motion

Solution:

$T =\frac{2 m _1 m _2}{ m _1+ m _2} g$
$=\frac{2 \times 10 \times 6}{10+6} \times 9.8=73.5 \,N$
