Q89 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Physics

Two bodies of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are tied to the ends of a massless string. The string passes over a pulley which is frictionless (see figure). The acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity g is:
Figure

  • A
    g2
  • Correct answer
    B
    g5
  • C
    g10
  • D
    g

Solution

a=m2−m1gm1+m2

a=(6−4)g6+4=2g10

a=g5

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
