    If two masses of 2 kg and 3 kg are attached to the end of the string passed over a pulley fixed at the top, then the tension and the acceleration are

    A)  \[\frac{21}{8}g,\,\frac{g}{8}\]                   

    B)  \[\frac{12g}{5},\,\frac{g}{5}\]

    C)  \[\frac{21g}{8},\,\frac{g}{5}\]                   

    D)  \[\frac{7g}{8},\,\frac{g}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Tension in the string,\[T=\frac{2{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}g\] \[=\frac{2\times 2\times 3}{2+3}g=\frac{12}{5}g\]and acceleration \[a=\left( \frac{{{m}_{2}}-{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right)g=\left( \frac{3-2}{3+2} \right)g=\frac{g}{5}\]
