STANDARD Physics Newton's Second Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Two blocks of masses 10 kg and 20 kg are connected by a massless string and are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. If a force F = 600 N is applied to 10 kg block, then the tension in the string is

Question diagram
A

100 N

B

200 N

C

300 N

D

400 N

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The acceleration of the system is calculated using F = ma, where m is the total mass. The tension in the string is then found by applying F = ma to the 20 kg block. The tension is 400 N.
