Two bodies of mass 4 kg and tied to the ends of a massless string. the string passes over a pully which is frictionless (see figure). the acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity (g) is:

A

g/2

B

g/5

C

g/10

D

g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`a=((m_(2) - m_(1))g)/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
`a=((6-4)g)/(6+4) = (2g)/10 = g/5`
