In the figure a smooth pulley of negligible weight is suspended by a spring balance. Weights of 1kg and 5 kg are attached to the opposite ends of a string passing over the pulley and move with acceleration because of gravity. During the motion, the spring balance reads a weight of `:`

A

6 kg

B

Less than 6 kg

C

More than 6 kg

D

Many be more or less than 6 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`("Tension in main arm")/("acceleration due to gravity")`
= Reading of spring balance.
