Option d (T₁ > T₂ > T₃) correctly describes the tension in the three rope system.

Let's evaluate each tension.

Case T₃.

$T_{3} - W_{3} = 0$

For the system to be in equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the tension force (T) and the weight (W) must be equal to zero. The minus sign of W is because it is in the opposite direction of T.

$T_{3} = W_{3}$

Since W₃ = mg, where m is for mass and g is for the acceleration due to gravity, we have:

$T_{3} = W_{3} = mg$ (1) Case T₂.

$T_{2} - (T_{3} + W_{2}) = 0$

$T_{2} = T_{3} + W_{2}$ (2)

By entering W₂ = 2mg and equation (1) into eq (2) we have:

$T_{2} = T_{3} + W_{2} = mg + 2mg = 3mg$

Case T₁.

$T_{1} - (T_{2} + W_{1}) = 0$

$T_{1} = T_{2} + W_{1}$ (3)

Knowing that W₁ = 3mg and T₂ = 3mg, eq (3) is:

$T_{1} = 3mg + 3mg = 6mg$

Therefore, the correct option is d: T₁ > T₂ > T₃.

Answer from: TayJoker966

Correct D. $T_{1} T_{2} T_{3}$

First, we must construct the Equations of Equilibrium for each mass based on Newton's Laws of Motion, then we solve the resulting system for every Tension force:

Mass m:

$\Sigma F = T_{3}-m\cdot g = 0$ (1)

Mass 2m:

$\Sigma F = T_{2}-2\cdot m \cdot g -T_{3} = 0$ (2)

Mass 3m:

$\Sigma F = T_{1}-3\cdot m\cdot g - T_{2} = 0$ (3)

The solution of this system is: $T_{3} = m\cdot g$ , $T_{2} = 3\cdot m\cdot g$ and $T_{1} = 6\cdot m\cdot g$ , which means that $T_{1} T_{2} T_{3}$ . (Correct D.)
