Two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are connected by an inextensible cord and arranged as shown in the diagram with `m_(1)` sliding along on a frictionless surface and `m_(2)` from a light frictionless pulley. What would be the mass of the falling mass `m_(2)` if both the sliding mass `m_(1)` and the tension T in the cord were known?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`m_(2)g-T=m_(2)a` ltbr gt `T=m_(1)a`
`rArr m_(2)=(Tm_(1))/((m_(1)g-T))`
