1.	Two masses 8 kg and 12 kg are connected at the two ends of a lightinextensible string that goes over a frictionless pulley.Find the acceleration of the masses, and the tension in the string when the masses are released.
Answer» SOLUTION :`T = 8 xx 10 = 8A, 12 xx 10 - T = 12a` i.e., `a = 2 ms^(-2) , T =96 N`
