Solution
The correct option is Bg3 From constrained condition and using method of intercept we have, ..L1+..L2+..L3=0 ⇒−a1+a2+a2=0⇒a1=2a2……(1) From FBD of masses m and 2m we have force equations as T=ma1...........(i) 2mg−2T=2ma2............(ii) From eq (1), we get
Tm=2[g−Tm] 3Tm=2g⇒T=2mg3 ∴a2=[g−Tm]=[g−2g3] ⇒a2=g3 Thus, the acceleration of 2m mass is g3
