JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion

The boxes of masses \(2\, {kg}\) and \(8\, {kg}\) are connected by a massless string passing over smooth pulleys. Calculate the time taken by box of mass \(8\; {kg}\) to strike the ground starting from rest. (use \(\left.{g}=10\, {m} / {s}^{2}\right)\) (in \({s}\))

  1. A \(0.34\)
  2. B \(0.2\)
  3. C \(0.25\)
  4. D \(0.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left({m}_{1} {g}-2 {T}\right)={m}_{1} {a}.....(1)\) \({T}-{m}_{2} {g}={m}_{2}(2 {a})\) \(2 {T}-2 {m}_{2} {g}=4 {m}_{2} {a}.....(2)\) \({m}_{1} {g}-2 {m}_{2} {g}=\left({m}_{1}+4 {m}_{2}\right) {a}\) \({S}=\frac{1}{2} {at}^{2}\) \(\frac{0.2 \times 2 \times 4}{10}={t}^{2}\)…
