All surfaces shown in figure are assumed to be frictionless and the pulleys and the string are light. The acceleration of the block of mass 2 kg is : [figure]
- g2
- g4
- g
- g3
Answer
(4) g3
Solution
Constraint: 2 kg block moves x up the incline ⇒ movable pulley (4 kg) moves down x2
a2=2a, where a = acceleration of 4 kg
2 kg: T-2g 30 =2(2a) T-10=4a
4 kg: 4g-2T=4a 40-2T=4a
40-2(10+4a)=4a a= 53 m/s2
a2=2a= 103 m/s2= g3
Answer: (4)
