Three blocks with masses m, 2m and 3m are connected by strings, as shown in the figure. After an upward force F is applied on block m, the masses move upward at constant speed v. What is the net force on the block of mass 2m? (g is the acceleration due to gravity)
A 6 mg
B zero
C 2 mg
D 3 mg

Detailed Solution

The block of mass 2m moves with constant velocity, so the net force on it is zero.
