Question

22. Two masses m, and m,,m,>m, are connected
to the ends of massless rope and allowed to
move as shown in the figure. The acceleration
of the centre of mass (assuming pulley is
massless and frictionless), is
mm₂
(2) zero
(1 m. + m₂
(mm28 (4) m - m₂)
my + m₂
m, + m
orces 2 kg and 4​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let is the acceleration of m­1 and is the acceleration of m2.

We know that,

But in a connected body problem we have,

On substituting the value of in eq. (1) we get,
