Question

A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses m 1 and m 2 (vertically). If the acceleration of the system is (g/8), then the ratio of masses is, 8 : 1, 9 : 7, 4 : 3, 5 : 3

In the given system, a = m 1 - m 2 m 1 + m 2 = g 8 ∴ m 1 - m 2 m 1 + m 2 = 1 8 8 m 1 - 8 m 2 = m 1 + m 2 7 m 1 = 9 m 2 m 1 m 2 = 9 7
