JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th August Evening Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 72 English Explanation
(m1g $$-$$ 2T) = m1a $$-$$ (1)

T $$-$$ m2g = m2(2a)

2T $$-$$ 2m2g = 4m2 a $$-$$ (2)

m1g $$-$$ 2m2g = (m1 + 4m2) a

a = $${{(8 - 4)g} \over {(8 + 8)}} = {4 \over {16}}g = {g \over 4}$$

a = $${{10} \over 4}$$ m/s2

S = $${1 \over 2}$$ at2

$${{0.2 \times 2 \times 4} \over {10}}$$ = t2

t = 0.4 sec
