Masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light string in figure. The wedges is smooth and the pulley is smooth and fixed m1=10kg and m2=7.5kg. When m2 is just released, the distance it will travel in 2 seconds is (g=10m/s2)

Solution
The correct option is C 2.8m We can write two equations for motion of these blocks,
m2g−T=m2a
T−m1gsin30=m1a
Putting the values we get a=2517.5m/s2
Now distance travelled by m2 in two seconds = 12at2≃2.8m
