From: AIEEE 2002
Question
A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses and (vertically). If the acceleration of the system is , then the ratio of the masses is
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B
Step-by-step explanation
Assume that, mass m1 is greater than mass m2, so the heavier mass m1 is accelerating downward and the lighter mass m2 is accelerating upwards.
For mass the equation will be
For mass the equation will be
Adding those equations we get
