System shown in figure is in equilibrium and at rest. The spring and string are massless Now the string is cut. The acceleration of mass 2m and m just after the string is cut will be:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
After string is cut, FBD of m
a = 
= g ↓
FBD of 2m (when string is cut tension in the spring takes finite time to become zero. However, tension in
the string immediately become zero.)
