Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
Two masses as shown are suspended from a massless pulley. Calculate the acceleration of the system when masses are left free:
A
2g/3
B
g/3
C
g/9
D
g/7
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law. The net force is the difference in weights, and the total mass is the sum of both masses. Solving gives an acceleration of 2g/3.
