Two masses M1 and M2 are attached to the ends of string which passes over the pulley attached to the top of a double inclined plane. The angles of inclination of the inclined planes are same. Take g = 10 ms−2. If M1=M2, what is the acceleration of the system ?

Solution
The correct option is A zero As the angle of inclination θ is same, the force along both the ends of the string on the masses will be same (mgsinθ), and will be nullified by each other. So, the acceleration of the system is 0.
