A system as shown in figure is in equilibrium and is at rest. The spring and string are massless, now the string is cut. The acceleration of the masses 
and 
just after the string is cut, will be
A
upwards, 
downwards B
g upwards, 
downwards
downwards C
upwards, 
downwards D
upwards, 
downwards
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When string between 
and 
is cut, mass 
undergoes free fall.
Acceleration of 
be 
and equal force is experienced by 
where, 
acceleration of mass 
, when string is cut
