Answer:

a

`F = 20 \ kg`

b

`F = 18 \ kg`

c

`F = 10 \ kg`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram we are told that

The first mass is
`m_1 = 10 \ kg`

The second mass is
`m_2 = 3 \ kg`

The third mass is
`m_3 = 5 \ kg`

The fourth mass is
`m_4 = 2 \ kg`

Gnerally the total mass accelerated by right force is mathematically evaluated as

`F = m_1 + m_2 +m_3 + m_4`

`F = 10 + 3 +5 + 2`

`F = 20 \ kg`

Gnerally the total mass accelerated by cord 3 is mathematically evaluated as

`F = m_1 + m_2 +m_3`

`F = 10 + 3 +5`

`F = 18 \ kg`

Gnerally the total mass accelerated by cord 3 is mathematically evaluated as

`F = m_1`

`F = 10 \ kg`
