Two blocks are arranged as shown and kept at rest by holding the 1 kg block in place.
 
   
 
   
 
   The tension in the string is closest to:

  1.9 N
  2.10 N
  3.11 N
  4.12 N
  5.13 N
  6.10 N at the left end; 12 N at the right
  7.10 N in the left segment; 11 N in the middle segment; 12 N in the right segment
  8.Smoothly varying from 10 N by the left block to 12 N by the right block
  9.None of the above
  10.Impossible to determine

Question 2

Consider the three situations below, labeled A, B, and C. Ignore friction.
 
   
 
   After each system is released from
   rest, how do the tensions in the
   strings compare?

  1.A = B = C
  2.B = C < A
  3.A = C < B
  4.A < B < C
  5.A < C < B
  6.B < A < C
  7.B < C < A
  8.C < A < B
  9.C < B < A
  10.Impossible to determine
