MCQ
A block of mass $M$ is tied to one end of massless rope. The other end of rope is in the hands of a man of mass $2M$ as show in figure. Initially the block and the man are resting on a rough plank of mass $2M$ as shown in figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. Pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the magnitude of displacement of the plank when the block meets the pulley ......... $m $ (Man does not leave his position on the plank during the pull).
  • A
    $0.5$
  • $0.6$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0.6$
b
$4m x = m(3 -x)$

$ \Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6\ m$
