Two bodies A and B of masses 10 kg and 15 kg respectively, kept on a smooth horizontal surface, are tied to the ends of a light string. If T represents the tension in the string when a horizontal force F = 500 N is applied to A (pulling A, with the string then pulling B behind it), and T′ represents the tension when the same force is applied to B instead (pulling B, with the string pulling A behind it), then which of the following is true?

Answer: (D)

Solution

In either case, the common acceleration of the (smooth, frictionless) system is a = F/+ = 500/25 = 20 m/s². When F pulls A, the
