1.	Consider three blocks of masses m_(1), m_(2), m_(3) interconnected by strings which are pulled by a common force F on a frictionless horizontal table as in the figure. The tension T_(1) and T_(2) are also indicated a) T_(2) gt T_(1)" if "m_(2) gt m_(1) b) T_(2) =T_(1)" if "m_(2)=m_(1) c) T_(2) gt T_(1) always d) "acceleration of the system"=(F)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3))
Answer» a, b b, d a, d c, d Solution :`F=ma a=(F_("NET"))/(M), T_(1)=m_(1)a, T_(2)=(m_(1)+m_(2))a`
