Homework Statement
Two blocks of equal mass m are tied to each other through a light string. One of the blocks is pulled along the line joining them with a constant force F. Find the tension in the string joining the blocks.
Homework Equations
I tried doing this by this method.
(I don't know how to draw free body diagram here. It is just two bodies connected by string)
I got
F+T=ma
F-T=2ma
Hence, F=3ma/2
I got T=F/3
But the answer given at the back is F/2
Can someone help me with this?
Where am I going wrong?
