Practicing Success
Two bodies of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are tied to the ends of a massless string. The string passes over a pulley which is frictionless (see figure). The acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity (g) is : |
\(\frac{g}{5}\) \(\frac{g}{10}\) g \(\frac{g}{2}\) |
\(\frac{g}{5}\) |
a = \(\frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2}g\) ; m1 > m2 m1 = 6 ; m2 = 4 a = \(\frac{g}{5}\). |
