Three identical blocks, A, B, and C, are on a horizontal frictionless table. The blocks are connected by strings of negligible mass, with block B between the other two blocks. If block C is pulled horizontally by a force of magnitude F = 49 N, find the tension in the string between blocks B and C.

Solutions

Expert Solution

For the system as a whole;
Fnet = 3*ma
=> 49 = 3*m*a
=> a = 49/(3m)

For block C;
49 - T = m*a
=> 49 - T = m*49/(3m)
=> T = 32.67 N
