Two weights w(1) and w(2) are suspended ...

Two weights `w_(1)` and `w_(2)` are suspended from the ends of a light string passing over a smooth fixed pulley. If the pulley is pulled up at an acceleration g , the tension in the string will be

A

`(2w_(1)w_(2))/(w_(1)+w_(2))`

B

`(w_(1)w_(2))/(w_(1)+w_(2))`

C

`(4w_(!)w_(2))/(w_(1)+w_(2))`

D

`(4w_(1)w_(2))/(w_(1)-w_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From pully frame pseudo fore equal to weight acts on bodies respectively.
`2w_(2)-T=(w_(2))/(g)=a`
`T=2w_(1)=(Gw_(1)w_(2))/((w_(1)+w_(2)))`
Solving `T=(Gw_(1)w_(2))/((w_(1)+w_(2))`
