6. Intro to Forces (Dynamics) / Forces in Connected Systems of Objects / Problem 5

One 3.5-kg flower pot hangs from a weightless string attached to another 3.5-kg flower pot, which is also suspended by a weightless string. If both pots remain stationary, calculate the tension in each string.

F_T1= 34 N, F_T2 = 68 N

F_T1= 32 N, F_T2 = 68 N

F_T1= 34 N, F_T2 = 69 N

F_T1= 30 N, F_T2 = 69 N
