A balloon of mass `M` descends with an acceleration `a_(0)`. The mass that must be thrown out in order to give the balloon an equal upwards acceleration will be

A

`(Ma_(0))/(g)`

B

`(2 Ma_(0))/(g)`

C

`(2 Ma_(0))/(g+a_(0))`

D

`(M(g+a_(0)))/(a_0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`Mg-U=Ma_(0)` …(i)
`U=(M-m)g=(M-m)a_(0)` …(ii)
solving these two equations we get,
`m=(2Ma_(0))/(g+a_(0))` .
