Consider two masses m1 and m2 are connected through a pulley. Mass ' m2 ' stats from rest at height ' h ' and falls down. With what speed it hits the ground? (Assume no friction and massless strings & pulleys)

  1. A m2m1+m2gh
  2. B 2gh
  3. C m2 m1+m22gh
  4. D m1m1+m22gh
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) m2 m1+m22gh

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the above diagram, the tension always acted towards pulley now the equations of motion in terms of a tension of the string and acceleration of the block, T=m1a & m2g-T=m2a⇒a=m2gm1+m2 Now calculate the final speed of the particle, v2=0+2ah⇒v=2ah, now…
