Two bodies of mass 4kg and 6kg are tied to the ends of a massless string. The string passes over a pulley which is frictionless (see figure). The acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity (g) is:
Option: 1 g
Option: 2
Option: 3
Option: 4
For block of 4 kg and 6 kg -
So,
For 4 kg block -
T - 4g = 4a . ..............(1)
And for 6 kg block -
6g - T = 6a .................. (2)
By adding (1) and (2)
