A light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses m1 and m2. If the acceleration of the system is g8, then the ratio of masses is

  1. 97
  2. 81
  3. 43
  4. 53

Solution

Acceleration of the system can be written as, a=m1-m2gm1+m2=g8

⇒8m1-8m2=m1+m2

⇒7m1=9m2

⇒m1m2=97
