Given:
• Mass of block A = 6.0 kg
,
• Mass of block B = 7.0 kg
,
• Mass of block C = 13.0 kg
,
• Force, F = 13.0 N
Let's find the magnitude of the tension in the rope between B and C.
Let's first find the acceleration.
We have:
Thus, we have:
To find the tension between blocks B and C, we have the equation:
Where:
F = 13 N
Mc is the mass of block C = 13 kg
a is the acceleration = 0.5 m/s²
Thus, we have:
Therefore, the magnitude of the tension in the rope between blocks B and C is 6.5 N
ANSWER:
6.5 N
