A constant force F = m2 g / 2 is applied on the block of mass m, as shown in fig. The string and the pulley

are light and the surface of the table is smooth The acceleration of m1 is

a
m2g2m1+m2 towards right
b
m2g2m1−m2 towards left
c
m2g2m2−m1 towards right
d
m2g2m2−m1 towards left

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let a be the acceleration of mass m2 in the downward direction. Then T -m2(g/2) = m1a   …(1)and m2 g -T = m2 a   …(2)Adding eqs. (1) and (2), we getm1+m2a=m2g−m2(g/2)=m2g/2∴ a=m2g2m1+m2.
