Two particles are connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley.
Identify the correct statement about the tension in the string.
Tick one box.
The tension is greater on the side of the heavier particle.
The tension is the same at every point of the string.
The tension is zero while the particles are moving.
The tension equals the total weight of the two particles.
