Question

A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses a and b(vertically). If the acceleration of the system is g/8, then the ratio of the masses (i.e., a/b) is

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: magnitude of accn of a = accn of b (pulley at rest). Whose value = (a-b)g/a+b

Now acom =( m1a1- m2a2)/m1+m2 solve it
