Two bodies of mass 3 kg and 4 kg are suspended at the ends of massless string passing over a frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the system is (g = 9.8 m/s 2 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Acceleration \(= \frac{\left(m_{2} - m_{1}\right)}{\left(m_{2} + m_{1}\right)} g\)
\(= \frac{4-3}{4+3} \times 9.8 = \frac{9.8}{7} = 1.4\,m/sec^{2}\)
