A light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses m 1 and m 2 . If the acceleration of the system is g 8 , then the ratio of masses is
Options
- A9 7
- B8 1
- C4 3
- D5 3
Correct answer
A. 9 7
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration of the system can be written as, a = m 1 - m 2 g m 1 + m 2 = g 8 ⇒ 8 m 1 - 8 m 2 = m 1 + m 2 ⇒ 7 m 1 = 9 m 2 ⇒ m 1 m 2 = 9 7
