A light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\). If the acceleration of the system is \(g / 8\), then the ratio of masses is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{9}{7}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(a=\frac{\left(m_1-m_2\right) g}{\left(m_1+m_2\right)}=\frac{g}{8}\)
\(8 m_1-8 m_2=m_1+m_2\)
\(7 m_1=9 m_2 \)
\(\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{9}{7}\)
\(8 m_1-8 m_2=m_1+m_2\)
\(7 m_1=9 m_2 \)
\(\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{9}{7}\)
