Q.
The pulley arrangements of the figure. (a) and (b) are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In (a) the mass $m$ is lifted up by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In (b), $m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2 \, m g$ . The acceleration of $m$ in both cases is?
