Two masses ...

Question

Two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are tied with a thread passing over a pulley, $m_{1}$ is on a frictionless horizontal surface and $m_{2}$ is hanging freely. If acceleration due to gravity is $g$ , the acceleration of $m_{1}$ in this arrangement will be:

Solution

The correct option is D $g / (m_{1} + m_{2})$
Equation of motion-
$T = m_{1} a$
$m_{2} g - T = m_{2} a$
$\Rightarrow$ $a = \frac{m_{2} g}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$
