Two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When set free `m_(1)` moves downward by 2 m in 2 s. The ratio `m_(1)//m_(2)` is

A

`9//7`

B

`11//9`

C

13/11

D

15/13

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`a=((m_(1)-m_(2))g)/((m_(1)+m_(2)))`
`x=(1)/(2)at^(2)`
`2=(1)/(2)a(2)^(2)`
`a=1m//s^(2)`
`((m_(1)-m_(2))g)/((m_(1)+m_(2)))=1`
`10m_(1)-10m_(2)=m_(1)+m_(2)`
`9m_(1)=11m_(2)`
`(m_(1))/(m_(2))=(11)/(9)`

Consider the case of two bodies of masses m_(1) and m_(2) which are connected by light inextensible string passing over a light smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The expression for acceleration of the system and tension of the string are expressed below under different situations: (i) when m_(1) gt m_(2) . In this case a=((m_(1)-m_(2))/(m_(1)+m_(2)))g and T=((2m_(1)m_(2))/(m_(1)+m_(2)))g (ii) when m_(2) gt m_(1) .
