In the arrangement shown,the $2\, kg$ block is held to keep the system at rest. The string and pulley are ideal. When the $2\, kg$ block is set free,by what amount does the tension in the string change? $[g = 10\, m/s^2]$

  • A
    Increase of $12\, N$
  • B
    Decrease of $12\, N$
  • C
    Increase of $18\, N$
  • D
    Decrease of $18\, N$
