In the given arrangement, all strings and pulleys are light. When the system was released it was observed that M and `m_(0)` do not move. Find the masses M and `m_(0)` in terms of `m_(1) "and" m_(2)`. Find the acceleration of all the masses if string is cut just above `m_(2)`.

Answer

`m_(0) = (4m_(1) m_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2)) ; M = (8m_(1)m_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
All masses will fall down with acceleration g
