Three blocks of masses $2 \,kg, 3 \,kg$ and $5\, kg$ are connected to each other with light string and are then placed on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The system is pulled by a force $F = 10N,$ then tension ${T_1} = $  .......... $N$ 

${T_1} = \left( {\frac{{{m_2} + {m_3}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}}} \right)g = \frac{{3 + 5}}{{2 + 3 + 5}} \times 10 = 8N$
