Question

Two masses M₁ and M₂ are accelerated uniformly on frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The ratio of the tensions `"T"_1/"T"_2` is ______.

विकल्प

• `"M"_1/("M"_1 + "M"_2)`

• `"M"_1/"M"_2`

• `("M"_1 + "M"_2)/"M"_2`

• `"M"_2/"M"_1`

Answer 1

Two masses M₁ and M₂ are accelerated uniformly on frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The ratio of the tensions `"T"_1/"T"_2` is `underline("M"_1/("M"_1 + "M"_2))`.

Explanation:

T₂ = (M₁ + M₂)a

T₁ = M₁a

`therefore "T"_1/"T"_2 = "M"_1/("M"_1 + "M"_2)`
