Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ are connected by means of a metal wire of cross-sectional area $A$ passing over a frictionless fixed pulley as shown in the figure. The system is then released. If $M = 2m$,then the stress produced in the wire is

  • A
    $\frac{2mg}{3A}$
  • B
    $\frac{4mg}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg}{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mg}{4A}$

Two masses $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are tied together at the two ends of a light inextensible string that passes over a frictionless pulley. When the mass $M_{2}$ is twice that of $M_{1}$,the acceleration of the system is $a_{1}$. When the mass $M_{2}$ is thrice that of $M_{1}$,the acceleration of the system is $a_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$ will be:
