Chapter 2.3, Problem 3eT

The weight of a 200 g mass has magnitude $\left(0.2\text{kg}\right)\left(9.8{\text{m/s}}^2\right)\approx 2\text{N}$ . Similarly, the weight of a 400 g mass is approximately 4 N in magnitude.

1. How does the force exerted on object A by the string compare to these two weights?

2. How does the force exerted on object C by the string compare to these two weights?

Explain your answers.

3. How does the net force on object A compare to the net force on object C? Explain.
