Question:

Three blocks with masses m, 2m and 3m are connected by strings, as shown in the figure. After an upward force F is applied on block m, the masses move upward at constant speed v. What is the net force on the block of mass 2m? (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

Options:

2mg

3mg

6mg

Zero

Correct Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Since the block is moving with constant velocity so net force must be equal to zero.
