Questions  

The two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In (a) the mass m is lifted up by attaching a mass 2m to the other end of the rope. In (b). m is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force of 2mg. The ratio of accelerations in two cases will be

a
1:1
b
1:2
c
1:3
d
1:4

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For first case,a1=m2−m1m1+m2g=2m−mm+2m=g3    .......(i)For second case,From free body diagram of m,ma2=T−mgma2=2mg−mg       [ As T=2mg]a2=g           From (i) and (ii) ,a1a2=g/3g=1/3

Figure shows block A a motor C mounted on a with combined mass m and another block B of mass 2m. Block B is attached to shaft of motor with a light inextensible string. Motor is switched on at t =0 and string starts winding on its shaft and block B starts moving at acceleration a. If initial separation between blocks is l then find the time after which the two bodies will collide. The friction coefficient between blocks and ground is μ.
