Question

A small ball is suspended from a thread. It is lifted up with an acceleration 4.9 m/s² and lowered with an acceleration 4.9 m/s², then the ratio of tensions in the thread in both cases will be :

Easy

A

1:3
B

3:1
C

1:1
D

$1 : \sqrt{5}$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} T_{1} = m (g + a) and T_{2} = m (g - a) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = \frac{g + a}{g - a} = \frac{9 .8 + 4 .9}{9 .8 - 4 .9} = \frac{3}{1} \end{array}$
