Two weights of mass $m_{1}$ and $m_{2} (> m_{1})$ are joined by an inextensible string of negligible mass passing over a fixed frictionless pulley. The magnitude of the acceleration of the loads is

  • A
    $g$
  • B
    $\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{2}} g$
  • C
    $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}+m_{1}} g$
  • D
    $\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{2}+m_{1}} g$

Two unequal masses are connected on two sides of a light string passing over a light and smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest. The larger mass $(2\, kg)$ is stopped $1\, s$ after the system is set into motion and then released. Find the time elapsed before the string becomes tight again. (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)
