    Tension is same throughout in an inextensible string

    Use the formula, 2M1M2/M1+M2= 2 * 150 * 50/150 + 50 = 100 * 150/200 = 75.

    So, the tension in 1st string from the right side is 75. Which is the same in the other two as 150/2 =75.

    So 75 n tension in each string

If a number of forces are acting at a point, their resultant is given by

A. $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2}$$

B. $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2}} $$

C. $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)$$
