Two blocks of masses in the ratio $m:n$ are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless fixed pulley. If the system of the blocks is released from rest, then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the system of the blocks is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\left(\frac{m+n}{m-n}\right)^2 g$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{m-n}{m+n}\right)^2 g$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m+n}{m-n}\right) g$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{m-n}{m+n}\right) g$

In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0 (< g)$,then
