Question

In the figure, a smooth pulley of negligible weight is suspended by a spring balance. Masses of 1 kg and 5 kg are attached to the opposite ends of a string passing over the pulley and move with some acceleration. During their motion, the spring balance reads a weight of, 6 kgf, Less than 6 kgf, More than 6 kgf, May be more or less than 6 kgf

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Spring balance reading is equal to 2 T tension in the string = 2 m 1 m 2 m 1 + m 2 = 2 × 5 × 1 6 = 5 3 Kgf reading of spring balance= 2 T = 2 × 5 3 = 10 3 Kgf
