    In the arrangement shown, the pulleys are fixed and ideal, the strings are light, \[{{m}_{1}}>{{m}_{2}},\]and S is a spring balance, which is itself massless. The reading of S (in units of mass) is

    A) \[{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}\]               

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})\]

    C) \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]                    

    D) \[\frac{2{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The acceleration of the system \[=\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right)g\]and hence the tension T m the string is\[\left( \frac{2{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right)g.\]The reading of the spring balance is T (in units of force) and T/g (in units of mass). Hence, the correction option is [d].
