As we learnt in

3 block connected with string -

- wherein

a=\frac{F}{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3}}


T_{1}=\frac{(m_{2}+m_{3})F}{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3}}


T_{2}=\frac{m_{3}F}{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since,     Force  =  mass × acceleration

\therefore    F - TAB = ma  and TAB - TBC = ma

\therefore    TBC  =  F - 2 ma

or    TBC  =  10.2 - ( 2 x 2 x 0.6)

or    TBC  =  7.8 N

Correct option is 2.

Option 2)

7.8

This is the correct option.

Option 3)

4

This is an incorrect option.
