In the arrangement shown, the pulleys, strings and the spring balance, all are ideal. If m1>m2 , then the reading of the spring balance is <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Question" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-josxvb33l541.png" /> (A) m1-m2 (B) (1/2)(m1 + m2) (C) (4 m1 m2/m1 + m2) (D) (2 m1 m2/m1 + m2)

The acceleration of the system ((m1-m2/m1+m2)) g and hence the tension T in the string is ((2 m1 m2/m1+m2)) g The reading of the spring balance is T (in units of force) and T/g(in units of mass).

Q. In the arrangement shown, the pulleys, strings and the spring balance, all are ideal. If $m_{1} > m_{2}$ , then the reading of the spring balance is

$m_{1} - m_{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} (m_{1} + m_{2})$

$\frac{4 m _{1} m _{2}}{m _{1} + m _{2}}$

$\frac{2 m _{1} m _{2}}{m _{1} + m _{2}}$

The acceleration of the system $(\frac{m _{1} - m _{2}}{m _{1} + m _{2}}) g$ and hence the tension T in the string is $(\frac{2 m _{1} m _{2}}{m _{1} + m _{2}}) g$
The reading of the spring balance is T (in units of force) and T/g(in units of mass).
