A mass of 3 kg descending vertically downwards supports a mass of 2 kg by means of a light string
passing over a pulley. At the end of 5 s, the string breaks . How much high from now the 2 kg mass
will go? (Take, 9 = 9.8  ms-2

a
4.9 m
b
9.8 m
c
19.6 m
d
2.45 m

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Acceleration of system before breaking the string,a= Net pulling force  Total mass =3g-2g5=g5After 5 s velocity of system,  v=at=g5×5=g ms-1Now,   h=v22g=g22g=g2=49 m
