How to find Tension between two boxes
A string is attached between two boxes with equal masses of 5kg EACH. The boxes are being pulled with a force of 30N and the acceleration is 3m/s^2.
I think T=ma. But does 'm' mean I have to add both masses? T=10x3 =30N. I'm desperate to know if this is right or wrong. Thanks a million!!! Pleease answer asap!!! :) |

and what do u mean by T...the tension in the string?

i think the tension(T) will be 15N
for 1 st box eq will be 30-T =5(3) and for second T=5(3) |
