Two masses m₁ and m₂ are attached to a string which passes over a frictionless smooth pulley. When m₁=10 ~kg , m₂=6 ~kg , the acceleration of masses is
Options
- A20 ~m / s ^2
- B5 ~m / s ^2
- C2.5 ~m / s ^2
- D10 ~m / s ^2
Correct answer
C. 2.5 ~m / s ^2
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration of the system aligned a & = m₁-m₂ m₁+m₂ g= 10-6 10+6 g & = 4 16 10=2.5 ~m / s ^2 aligned
