the fig above shows two connected bodies of masses M\(_1\) and M\(_2\) in equilibrium under gravity. The tension in the upper string is
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
(m\(_1\)-m\(_2\))g
B
m\(_1\)g
C
m\(_2\)g
D
(m\(_1\)+m\(_2\))g
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
T = W but W = W\(_1\) + W\(_2\) = (m\(_1\) + m\(_2\))g
