View SolutionTwo blocks of masses $2 \,kg$ and $4 \,kg$ are hanging with the help of a massless string passing over an ideal pulley inside an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with an acceleration $\frac{g}{2}$. The tension in the string connected between the blocks will be .......... $N$ (Take $g=10 \,m/s^2$).
