Two masses, m1 and m2 are hanging from a support as shown in figure. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/7315bdc2d6bca0dbc5380931dda1ae6c-.png" /> The tension in string B C T1=( total mass hanging on string ) g=m2 g Similarly, the tension in string O A T2=( total mass hanging on string O A) g T2=(m1+m2) g Hence, the tension in the upper, string is T=(m1+m2) g

Q. Two masses connected in series with two massless strings are hanging from a support as shown in the figure. Find the tension in the upper string

$m_{1} g$

$(m_{1} - m_{2}) g$

$m_{2} g$

$(m_{1} + m_{2}) g$

$(m_{1} \times m_{2}) g$

m1​g

(m1​−m2​)g

m2​g

(m1​+m2​)g

(m1​×m2​)g

$m_{1} g$

$(m_{1} - m_{2}) g$

$m_{2} g$

$(m_{1} + m_{2}) g$

$(m_{1} \times m_{2}) g$
