In figure, two blocks M 1 and m 2 are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass M 1 is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction µ and the mass m 2 is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless –
Choose the correct statement (s) related to the tension T in the string -
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, c) No motion
When m 2 > µM 1 g motion starts with acceleration
m 2 g – T = m 2 a
T – µM 1 g = M 1 a
