MCQ
A balloon of total mass $‘M’$ and a fixed size starts coming down with an acceleration $f(f < g)$ . The fraction of the total mass of the balloon which must be dropped from it so that it starts going up with an acceleration of $‘f’$ (assuming negligible air resistance) is
  • A
    $\frac{f}{{g + f}}$
  • $\frac{{2f}}{{\left( {g + f} \right)}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{g + f}}{f}$
  • D
    $\frac{{2f}}{{g + 2f}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{2f}}{{\left( {g + f} \right)}}$
b
$\mathrm{Mg}-\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{Mf}$

$\mathrm{B}-(\mathrm{M}-\mathrm{CM}) \mathrm{g}=(\mathrm{M}-\mathrm{CM}) \mathrm{f}$

$\mathrm{CMg}=(2 \mathrm{M}-\mathrm{CM}) \mathrm{f}$

$\mathrm{Cg}+\mathrm{Cf}=2 \mathrm{f}$

$\mathrm{C}=\frac{2 \mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{f}}$
