Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ are connected by means of a metal wire of cross-sectional area $A$ passing over a frictionless fixed pulley as shown in the figure. The system is then released. If $M = 2\, m$, then the stress produced in the wire is
  • A$\frac{{2mg}}{{3A}}$
  • B$\frac{{4mg}}{{3A}}$
  • C$\frac{{mg}}{{A}}$
  • D$\frac{{3mg}}{{4A}}$
