Two blocks of masses 5 kg and 3 kg are suspended by the two strings as shown. Find the tension in each string. Ans. (80 N, 30 N)
Given:
Let Mass of the upper block = m1 = 5 kg
Mass of the lower block = m2 = 3 kg
using Gravitational Acceleration = g = 10 ms⁻² So,
Weight of the upper block = W1 = m1 g = 5 kg x 10 m s⁻² = 50 N
Weight of the lower block = W2 = m2 g = 3 kg x 10 ms⁻² = 30 N
To Find:
Tension in the upper string = T1 = ? N
Tension in the lower string = T2 = ? N
Solution:
According to the 1st condition of Equilibrium
Σ F = 0 or (Upwards forces = downwards forces)
Tension in the lower string = weight of the lower block
T1 = W1 = 30 N
thus, the tension in the lower string is 30 N
Tension in the upper string = weight of upper block + weight of the lower block
T2 = W2 + W2 = 50 N + 30 N = 80 N
Thus, the tension in the lower string is 80 N
