Two Blocks Are Connected by a Massless String That Passes

question 7

Multiple Choice

Two blocks are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley, as shown.In the absence of friction, how does the tension force exerted by the string on the 250 N block compare with the tension force exerted by the string on the 350 N block?

• A)The force on the 250 N block is smaller by a factor of 0.71.
• B)The force on the 250 N block is larger by a factor of 1.4.
• C)The force on the 250 N block is always equal to its weight.
• D)The force on the 250 N block is equal to the weight of the 350 N block.
• E)The two forces are equal.
