The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two figures provided and derive the relationships between the tensions \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \), and the accelerations \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \). ### Step 1: Analyze Figure 1 In Figure 1, we have a mass \( m \) connected to a pulley system. The forces acting on the mass are: - The gravitational force acting downward: \( mg \) - The tension in the string acting upward: \( T_1 \) According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the mass is equal to the mass times its acceleration: \[ T_1 - mg = ma_1 \] Rearranging this gives: \[ T_1 = mg + ma_1 \] ### Step 2: Analyze Figure 2 In Figure 2, we have a different configuration where a mass \( 2m \) is also connected to the pulley system. The forces acting on the mass \( 2m \) are: - The gravitational force acting downward: \( 2mg \) - The tension in the string acting upward: \( T_2 \) Applying Newton's second law again: \[ T_2 - 2mg = -2ma_2 \] This indicates that the acceleration \( a_2 \) is downward, hence the negative sign. Rearranging gives: \[ T_2 = 2mg - 2ma_2 \] ### Step 3: Relate the Accelerations From the analysis of both figures, we have two equations: 1. \( T_1 = mg + ma_1 \) 2. \( T_2 = 2mg - 2ma_2 \) ### Step 4: Solve for the Accelerations From the first equation, we can express \( a_1 \): \[ a_1 = \frac{T_1 - mg}{m} \] From the second equation, we can express \( a_2 \): \[ a_2 = \frac{2mg - T_2}{2m} \] ### Step 5: Compare the Tensions and Accelerations To compare \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \), we can analyze the relationship between \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \). From the equations we derived: 1. \( T_1 = mg + ma_1 \) 2. \( T_2 = 2mg - 2ma_2 \) Since \( a_1 \) is the acceleration of mass \( m \) upwards and \( a_2 \) is the acceleration of mass \( 2m \) downwards, we can conclude that: - If \( a_1 \) is greater than \( a_2 \), then \( T_1 \) must be greater than \( T_2 \). ### Conclusion From the analysis, we find that: - \( a_1 > a_2 \) - \( T_1 > T_2 \) Thus, the correct option is: **Option C: \( T_1 > T_2 \) and \( a_1 > a_2 \)**.
