Two weights $2 \,N$ and $3 \,N$ are suspended from the ends of an inextensible string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the pulley is pulled up with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$, then the tension in the string is: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $2.4$
  • B
    $5.0$
  • C
    $4.8$
  • D
    $6.0$

Two blocks are connected by a string as shown in the diagram. The upper block is hung by another string. $A$ force $F$ applied on the upper string produces an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$ in the upward direction in both the blocks. If $T$ and $T'$ are the tensions in the two parts of the string,then $T$ and $T'$ are:
