    A pulley fixed to the ceilling carries a string with blocks of mass m and 3 m attached to its ends. The masses of string and pulley are negligible. When the system is released, its centre of mass moves with what acceleration [UPSEAT 2002]

    A) 0

    B)   \[g/4\]

    C) \[g/2\]  

    D) \[-g/2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        \[{{a}_{cm}}={{\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\ g={{\left( \frac{3m-m}{3m+m} \right)}^{2}}g=\frac{g}{4}\]
