Answer to Question #145709 in Classical Mechanics for Bridget Carr

Question

determine the tension in each cable in case a and case b use g=10 m/s²

Answer 1

Here question is incomplete.

As per the given question,

Let the mass of the blocks are $m_1$ and $m_2$

Hence, tension in string a is $T_a =m_1g =10m_1 N$

Tension in string b is $T_b=m_2 g = 10m_2 N$
