Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{{2mg}}{{2m + M}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
From the codition of equilibrium
\(mg - T = ma \) \(....(i)\)
\(RT =\) \(I\alpha \)
\(\begin{array}{l}
\overline a = \overline \alpha \times R\,and\,I = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,RT = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}.\frac{a}{R}
\end{array}\)
Tension in string,
\(T = \frac{{Ma}}{2}\) From equation \((i)\)
\(mg - \frac{{Ma}}{2} = ma\)
\( \Rightarrow mg = a\left( {\frac{M}{2} + m} \right) \Rightarrow mg = a\left( {\frac{{M + 2m}}{2}} \right)\)
Hence, acceleration of the body,
\(a = \frac{{2mg}}{{M + 2m}}\)
