Question
In the pulley system shown in figure the movable pulleys A,B and C are of mass 1 kg each. D and E are fixed pulleys. The strings are light and inextensible. Choose the correct alternative(s). All pulleys are frictionless.
- tension in the string is 6.5 N
- acceleration of pulley A is g/3 downward
- acceleration of pulley B is g/6 upward
- acceleration of pulley C is g/3 upward
The correct answer is: acceleration of pulley A is g/3 downward
