Two weights w1 and w2 are suspended from the
ends of a light string passing over a smooth fixed pulley. If the pulley is pulled up at an acceleration g , the tension in the string will be-
A
w1+w24w1w2
B
w1+w22w1w2
C
w1+w2w1−w2
D
2(w1−w2)w1w2
Answer
w1+w24w1w2
Explanation
Solution
T=m1+m22 m1 m2( g+a) ,
T = gw1+gw22gw1⋅gw2(g+g) ̃ T = (w1+w2)4w1w2
