Question

In the following diagram a massless pulley is pulled by a constant force of magnitude $p$. There is no friction between the block and the floor. The acceleration produced in the block of mass $m$ is

• A. $\frac{p}{m}$
• B. $\frac{p}{2m}$
• C. $\frac{p}{3m}$
• D. $\frac{p}{4m}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{p}{m}$

Acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$

It is given that $F=p$

So, $a=\frac{p}{m}$
