In the arrangement shown in figure, `m_(A) = 2kg` and `m_(B) = 1kg`. String is ligith and inextensible. Find the acceleration of center of mass of both the blocks. Neglect friction everywhere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Net pulling force on the system is `(m_(A) - m_(B))g` or `(2-1)g=g`
Total mass being pulled is `m_(A) + m_(B)` or 3 kg

`therefore a = ("Net pulling force")/("Total mass") =g/3`= acceleration of each block.
Now, `veca_(CM) =(m_(A)veca_(A) + m_(B)veca_(B))/(m_(A) + m_(B)) =((2)(a) -(1)(a))/(1+2) =a/3 = g/9` downwards.
