A block of mass 0.2 kg is suspended from the ceiling by a light string. A second block of mass 0.3 kg is suspended from the first block through another string. Find the tensions in the two strings. Take g = 10 m/s².

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The first string is being stretched due to the weight of both the blocks

Thus, the tension in the first string

The second string is being stretched due to the weight of the second block

Thus, the tension in the first string
