In the system in the figure `m_(1)gtm_(2)` system is held at rest by thread `BC`. Just after the thread BC is burnt:

A

acceleration of `m_(2)` will be upwards

B

magnitude of acceleration of both blocks will be equal to `((m_(1)+m_(2))/(m_(1)+m_(2)))g`

C

acceleration of `m_(1)` will be equal to zero

D

magnitude of acceleration of two blocks will be non-zro and unequal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C

When thred is burnt, tension in spring remains same `=m_(1)g`.
`m_(1)g-m_(2)gm_(2)a`
`g=((m_(1)-m_(2))/(m_(2)))` `a=` upwards
for `m_(1)` `a=0`
