An ideal string pulley system is shown in the figure and system is released from rest choose correct option

In the arrangement shown, the pulleys, string and the spring balance, all the ideal. If m_(1) gt m_(2) , then the reading of the spring balance is

A block A of mass m is attached at one end of a light spring and the other end of the spring is connected to another block B of mass 2m through a light string as shown in the figure. A is held and B is in static equilibrium. Now A is released. The acceleration of A just after that instant is a . In the next case, B is held and A is in static equilibrium. Now when B is released, its acceleration immediately after the releas is b . The value of a//b is (pulley, string and the spring are massless).
