JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion

Two blocks of mass \(M_1 = 20\,kg\) and \(M_2 = 12\,kg\) are connected by a metal rod of mass \(8\,kg.\) The system is pulled vertically up by applying a force of \(480\,N\) as shown. The tension at the mid-point of the rod is ........ \(N\)

  1. A \(144\)
  2. B \(96\)
  3. C \(240\)
  4. D \(192\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(192\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{l} Acceleration\,produced\,in\,upward\,direction\\ a = \frac{F}{{{M_1} + {M_2} + Mass\,of\,metal\,rod}}\\ = \frac{{480}}{{20 + 12 + 8}} = 12\,m{s^{ - 2}}\\ Tension\,at\,the\,mid\,{\rm{point}}\,\\ T = \left( {{M_2} + \frac{{Mass\,of\,rod}}{2}} \right)a\\ \,\,\,\, =…
