In the figure all pulleys (P1, P2, P3 …….) are massless and all the blocks (1,2,3 …..) are identical, each having mass m. The system consist of infinite number of pulleys and blocks. Strings are light and inextensible and horizontal surfaces are smooth. Pulley P1 is moved to left with a constant acceleration of a0. Find the acceleration of block1. Assume the strings to remain horizontal.
