Solution

Q.
A light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ .

If the acceleration of the system is g/8, then the ratio of masses is [2024].

1 $\frac{9}{7}$

2 $\frac{8}{1}$

3 $\frac{4}{3}$

4 $\frac{5}{3}$

Ans.
(1)

$a = \frac{(m_{1} - m_{2}) g}{(m_{1} + m_{2})} = \frac{g}{8}$

$8 m_{1} - 8 m_{2} = m_{1} + m_{2}$

$7 m_{1} = 9 m_{2}$

$\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{9}{7}$
