Question

2 masses $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{M}_{2}$ are attached to a string, passing over a frictionless fixed pulley system. Given that $\quad \mathrm{M}_{1}$ $=10 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{M}_{2}=6 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$. Find the tension in the string?\

$\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~m}_{1} \mathrm{~m}_{2} \mathrm{~g}}{\left(\mathrm{~m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right)}$ $$ \begin{array}{ll} = & \mathrm{N} \end{array} $$
