Two masses m 1 and m 2 (m 1 > m 2 ) are connected by massless flexible and inextensible string passed over massless and frictionless pulley. The acceleration of center of mass is
A
B
C
D
Zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Acceleration of each mass 
Now acceleration of center of mass of the system
As both masses move with same acceleration but in opposite direction so 
= a (let)
