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 $\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1}$ is:

✓
$9: 7$
B
$4: 3$
C
$5: 3$
D
$8: 1$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$9: 7$

a
$a_{5 y s}=\left(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) g=\frac{g}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{m_2}{m_1}=\frac{9}{7}$
