Problem

Two identical blocks, each of mass

m

, are connected by a light inextensible string and placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force

F

is applied on the first block towards the second. Which of the following gives the acceleration of each block and the tension in the string? (a)

a=\dfrac{F}{m},\; T=F

(b)

a=\dfrac{F}{m},\; T=\dfrac{F}{2}

(c)

a=\dfrac{F}{2m},\; T=\dfrac{F}{2}

(d)

a=\dfrac{F}{2m},\; T=F
