Three equal weights $A, B$ and $C$ of mass $2\, kg$ each are hanging on a string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure The tension in the string connecting weights $B$ and $C$ is ........... $N$
Tension between ${m_2}$ and ${m_3}$ is given by
$T = \frac{{2{m_1}{m_3}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}} \times g$
$ = \frac{{2 \times 2 \times 2}}{{2 + 2 + 2}} \times 9.8$
$= 13\, N$
