NEET 2020 Physics Pulley Systems MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
Two bodies of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are tied to the ends of a massless string. The string passes over a pulley which is frictionless (see figure). The acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity (g) is:
A
g/5
B
g/10
C
g
D
g/2
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using Newton's second law, the net force is (6g - 4g) = 2g. The total mass is 10 kg, so acceleration a = 2g/10 = g/5.
