MCQ
A light unstretchable string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m _2$. If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{ g }{8}$, then the ratio of the masses $\frac{ m _2}{m_1}$ is:
  • A
    $9: 7$
  • B
    $4: 3$
  • C
    $5: 3$
  • D
    $8: 1$

Answer

$a_{s y s}=\left(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) g=\frac{g}{8}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{m_2}{m_1}=\frac{9}{7}$
