Question

2. In the arrangement
shown in figure, find the ratio of tensions in the strings
attached with 4 kg block and that with 1 kg block.
4kg
3kg
Fig. 8.73​

Answer 1

Answer:

as the system is stationary so acceleration is zero

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option is

A

4

As masses of the both side of the pulley are equal so they will not move. Thus, the tension in the strings will be the weight of the blocks.

Thus, T

4

=4g and T

1

=1g

so, T

4

/T

1

=
