Solution

The correct option is C 4
Pulling force acting on $B = m g$ and that on $A = m g sin θ$
Since $m g > m g sin θ$ , block $B$ will move down.

For $B$ :
$m g - T = m a$
For $A$ :
$m g sin θ + T = m a$
Hence $m g sin θ + T = m g - T$
$\Rightarrow T = \frac{m g}{2} (1 - sin θ) = \frac{m g}{4}$

A block of mass m can slide freely along the vertical surface of a bigger block of mass M as shown in figure. There is no friction anywhere in the system. The block m is connected to one end of a string whose other end is fixed at point P. The string between $P_{1}$ and P is horizontal and other parts of the string are vertical. System is released from rest. Find the accelerations of m during their subsequent motion.

The correct option is C 4Pulling force acting on B=mg and that on A=mgsinθ Since mg>mgsinθ, block B will move down. For B: mg−T=ma For A: mgsinθ+T=ma Hence mgsinθ+T=mg−T ⇒T=mg2(1−sinθ)=mg4
