Blocks $A$ and $B$ of mass $2\,kg$ and $4\,kg$ are suspended through a string using a pulley,inside an elevator moving downward with a constant acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$. Find the tension in the string connecting the two blocks.

  • A
    $\frac{64}{3}\,N$
  • B
    $\frac{32}{3}\,N$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{3}\,N$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{3}\,N$
