Two masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are placed on a smooth horizontal surface and are connected by a string of negligible mass. A horizontal force \(F\) is applied on the mass \(m_2\) as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) F\)
  2. B \(\frac{m_2 F}{m_1+m_2}\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right) F\)
  4. D \(\frac{m_2 F}{m_1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) F\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, force, \((F)\) is applied on \(m_2\) mass. So, tension in the string, \( T=m_1 \times a \) or,…
