MOTION OF BODIES CONNECTED BY STRINGS i) When two bodies of masses m, and m, are tied to the ends of a string and these kept on smooth horizontal surface are pulled by a force F. R1 R2 F F a = and T = m F %3D m +m2 m +m2 2i sot s ii) If in the above example three bodies are pulled with a force F. Acceleration produced in the system. m2 m3 F F a = m +m2 +m3 m,F Tension produced in the first string 1, = m,a = m, +m, +m3 %3D Tension produced in second string T, = (m, + m,)F (:F - T, = m,a) %3D + m, + m, Tension produced in the third string T, = F 3
