Question:medium

Two weights \(w_1\) and \(w_2\) are suspended to the two strings on a frictionless pulley. When the pulley is pulled up with an acceleration \(g\) then the tension in the string is

Show Hint

When pulley accelerates upward with \(a\), use \(g_{\text{eff}} = g + a\).

\(\frac{4w_1w_2}{w_1 + w_2}\)
\(\frac{2w_1w_2}{w_1 + w_2}\)
\(\frac{w_1w_2}{w_1 + w_2}\)
\(\frac{w_1w_2}{2(w_1 + w_2)}\)

Show Solution

The Correct Option is A
