Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are attached to the ends of a light string which passes over a massless pulley attached to the top of a double inclined smooth plane of angles of inclination $\alpha$ and $\beta$. The tension in the string is:

  • A
    $\frac{M_1 M_2(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta) g}{M_1+M_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{M_2(\sin \beta) g}{M_1+M_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{M_1(\sin \alpha) g}{M_1+M_2}$
  • D
    $Zero$

What should be the minimum force $P$ to be applied to the string so that a block of mass $M$ just begins to move up the frictionless inclined plane? The string passes over a pulley attached to the block,with one end fixed to the incline and the other pulled with force $P$ at an angle $\theta$ with the incline.
