    Two masses M and M/2 are joined together by means of light inextensible string passed over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. When the bigger mass is released, the small one will ascend with an acceleration of:

    A)  \[\frac{g}{3}\]

    B)  \[\frac{3g}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{g}{2}\]

    D)  g

    E)  \[\frac{g}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Acceleration, \[a=\frac{{{M}_{1}}-{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}+{{M}_{2}}}g\] \[=\frac{M-\frac{M}{2}}{M+\frac{M}{2}}g\] \[=\frac{\frac{M}{2}}{\frac{3M}{2}}g\] \[=\frac{g}{3}\]
