    Two masses \[{{m}_{1}}=5\,kg\] and \[{{m}_{2}}=4.8\,kg\] tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when they are free to move \[(g=9.8\,\,m/{{s}^{2}})\] [AIEEE 2004]

    A)             \[0.2\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    B)             \[9.8\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)             \[5\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    D)                           \[4.8\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[a=\left[ \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right]g=\left[ \frac{5-4.8}{5+4.8} \right]\times 9.8=0.2\ m/{{s}^{2}}\]
