Two unequal masses are connected on two ...

Two unequal masses are connected on two sides of a light and smooth pulley as shown in figure. The system is released from rest. The larger mass is stopped `1.0` second after the system is set into motion and then released immediately. The time elapsed before the string is tight again is: Take `g=10m//s^(2)`

A

`1//4s`

B

`1//2s`

C

`2//3s`

D

`1//3s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Acceleration of the system: `a=(m_(2)-m_(1))/(m_(2)+m_(1))g=(10)/(3)m//s^(2)` Velocity of both the block at `t=1s` will be
`v_(0)=at=(10)/(3)xx1=(10)/(3)m//s`
Now at this moment, velocity of `2kg` block becomes zero, while that of `1kg` block is `(10)/(3)m//s` upwards. Hence, string becomes tight again when
Displacement of `1kg` block=displacement of `2kg` block
or `v_(0)t-(1)/(2)gt^(2)=(1)/(2)gt^(2)` .

Two unequal masses of 1kg and 2kg are connected by a string going over a clamed light smooth pulley as shown in figure . The system is released from rest .The larger mass is stopped for a moment 1.0 s after the system is set in motion.Find the time elapsed before the string is tight again.

Two equal to masses are connected by a light string passing over a fixed frictionless pully. They are set in motion with uniform speed v. The mass going down is momentarily stopped and then released immediately. Calculate the time that will elapse before the string becomes tight again.
