Two bodies of masses 6 kg and 4 kg respectively are connected to two ends of a light string passing over horizontal frictionless pulley. The acceleration in the string is :

A

`1 ms^(-2)`

B

`2 ms^(-2)`

C

`3 ms^(-2)`

D

`2.5 ms^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`a=((m_(1)-m_(2))g)/(m_(1)m_(2))=((6-4))/(10)xx10=2m//s^(2)`

Hence correct choice is (b).

Two rectangular blocks A and B of masses 2 kg and 3 gk respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant 10.8Nm^(-1) and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block A was given an initial velocity of 0.15 ms^(-1) in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is

Two particles of mass m each are tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance 'a' from the center P (as shown in figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes 2x, is :
