Questions  

The linear mass density, i.e., mass per unit length of the rope shown in fig. varies 0 to λ from one end 

to another. The acceleration of the combined system of figure will be

a
F[M+(λL/2)]
b
F(m+λL)
c
F(M+2λL)
d
F[(M/2)+λL]

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Consider a small mass dm of the rope at a distance x and x + dx as shown in fig.Linear mass density at x is given by  λx=λLx∴dm=λxdx=λLxdxSo, m=∫0LλLxdx=λL[x22]0L=λL2If a be the combined acceleration, thena=FM+m=F[M+(λL/2)].
