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

The velocity at which \(6\) kg mass (shown in figure) strikes the ground when it is released from a height of \(6\) m above the ground is __________ m/s. Assume pulley is massless and string is light and inextensible. (Take g \(= 10\) m/s\(^2\))

  1. A \(7.74\)
  2. B \(7.20\)
  3. C \(6.55\)
  4. D \(4.50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7.74\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the acceleration of the system be \(a\) and the tension in the string be \(T\). The equations of motion for the two masses are: \(6g - T = 6a\) \(T - 2g = 2a\) Adding the two equations, we get: \(4g = 8a\) \(\Rightarrow a = \dfrac{4g}{8} = \dfrac{g}{2}\) Substituting…
