Two weights w(1) and w2 are suspended to...

Two weights `w_(1)` and `w_2` are suspended to the two ends of a string passing over a smooth pulley. If the pulley is pulled up with acceleration g then find the tension in the string

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Tension=
`(2m_(1)m_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2)) (g+a) =(2(w_(1))/g.w_(2)/g)/(w_(1)/g + w_(2)/g) (g+g) =(4w_(1)w_(2))/(w_(1) + w_(2))`
