In the figure, a person wants to raise a block lying on the ground to a height h. In both the cases, if the time required is same, then in which case he has to exert more force? Assume pulleys and strings light. 

a
(i)
b
(ii)
c
Same in both
d
Cannot be determined

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Since, h=12at2,a should be same in both cases, because h and t are same in both cases as given.  In Fig. (a), F1−mg=ma⇒F1=mg+ma In Fig. (b), 2F2−mg=ma ⇒ F2=mg+ma2∴ F1>F2
