Detailed Solution

Weight measured by weighing machine = $M (g - a)$

From F.B.D of lift

$T = M (g - a) - - - 1$

From F.B.D of pully

$T = m a - - - - 2$

From equation 1 and 2 we get

$m a = M (g - a)$

$M g = a (M + m)$

$a = \frac{M}{m + M} g$

Weight = $M (g - a)$

$= m (g - \frac{m g}{m + m})$

$W = \frac{M m g}{M + m}$

Mass $= \frac{M m}{M + m}$
