MCQ
A wire of $9.8 \times {10^{ - 3}}kg{m^{ - 1}}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at the two ends of wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 ms^{-1}$. Chose the correct option $m =$ ..... $kg$
  • $20$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $ 2$
  • D
    $ 7$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$20$
a
(a) $v = \sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} $ 

For equilibrium $Mg = mg \,sin 30 = T$ 

==> $M = \frac{m}{2}$==> $100 = \sqrt {\frac{{Mg}}{{9.8 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{M(9.8)}}{{9.8 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} $ 

==> $100 = \sqrt {M(1000)} $ ==> $M = 10kg$ and $m = 20kg$
