A mass of 1 kg is suspended by means of a thread. The system is (i) lifted up with an acceleration of 4.9 ms^(-2) (ii) lowered with an acceleration of 4.9 ms^(- 2). The ratio of tension in the first and second case is

Answer»

`3:1`
`1:2`
`1:3`
`2:1`

SOLUTION :Case-I
Using Newton.s SECOND LAW of motion, `T_(1)` - mg= ma
`T_(1)=m(g+a)` …(i)
Case-II
Using Newton.s second law of motion,
`mg-T_(2)=ma`
`T_(2)=m(g-a)` …(ii)
From EQN. (i) and (ii)
`(T_(1))/(T_(2))=(g+a)/(g-a)=(9.8+4.9)/(9.8-4.9)=3/1`
