MCQ
System shown in figure is in equilibrium and at rest. The spring and string are massless, now the string is cut. The acceleration of mass $2\,m$ and $m$ just after the string is cut will be
  • $\frac {g}{2}$ upwards, $g$ downwards
  • B
    $g$ upwards, $\frac {g}{2}$ downwards
  • C
    $g$ upwards, $2g$ downwards
  • D
    $2g$ upwards, $g$ downwards

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac {g}{2}$ upwards, $g$ downwards
a
$\mathrm{Kx}=3 \mathrm{mg}$

after cut the string

$a=\frac{F_{\text {ret }}}{2 m}=\frac{k x-2 m g}{2 m}$

$a=\frac{3 m g-2 m g}{2 m}=\frac{g}{2}$
