Physics - NLM Question with Solution | TestHub

Acceleration of system $a=\frac{\text{ Net force in the direction of acceleration }}{\text{ total mass }}\therefore a=\frac{1g}{1+4+5}=\frac{g}{10}=1\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$ For block $\mathrm{A}:{\mathrm{T}}_1=5\mathrm{a}=5\mathrm{N}$ For block $\mathrm{B}:{\mathrm{T}}_2-{\mathrm{T}}_1=4\mathrm{a}\Rightarrow {\mathrm{T}}_2=9\mathrm{N}$

Clamp force $\sqrt{T_2^2+T_2^2}=\sqrt{2}{T}_2=9\sqrt{2}N$
