This is because the pulley is smooth, so there is no friction. The forces acting on each mass are the weight of the mass and the tension in the string. The weight of the 50 kg mass is 50 N, and the weight of the 75 kg mass is 75 N. The tension in the string must be equal to the sum of the weights of the two masses, or 125 N.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the tension in the string is not equal to the weight of the 50 kg mass. Option B is incorrect because the tension in the string is not equal to the weight of the 75 kg mass.
