Sonryu Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Three blocks are connected by massless cords and rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks are pulled to the right. Mass m_1 = 2 m_2 = 3 m_3, with m_1 on the left and m_3 on the right. if the pulling force is equal to 90N, then the tension in the cord between m_1 and m_2 is... a) 49 b) 15 c) 100 d) 44 e) 85 I realize that because the back block (m_1) is being pulled, only it's mass is used in calculating the tension. But beyond that, I'm lost. :/
