Three blocks with masses $m$,$2m$,and $3m$ are connected by strings,as shown in the figure. After an upward force $F$ is applied on block $m$,the masses move upward at a constant speed $v$. What is the net force on the block of mass $2m$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $2mg$
  • C
    $3mg$
  • D
    $6mg$
