Two blocks `m_(1) 5g` and `m_(2) = 10 g` are hung vertically over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when left free?

A

`(g)/(3)`

B

`(g)/(2)`

C

g

D

`(g)/(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
The acceleration when left free`a=(M-m)/(M+m).G`
`=(10-5)/(10+5).g=(g)/(3)`
(a) is the choice.
