Figure shows a system of three masses being pulled with a force F. The masses are connected to each other by strings. The horizontal surface is frictionless. The tension T1 in the first string is 16 N. The acceleration of the system is -

A

1m\frac{1}{m}

B

2m\frac{2}{m}

C

3m\frac{3}{m}

D

4m\frac{4}{m}

Answer

2m\frac{2}{m}

Explanation

Solution

T1 = 8 ma

16 = 8 ma

a = 2m\frac{2}{m}
