Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. there is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. the masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. what must be true about the tension t in the string just after the objects are released?

Explanation:

Given

Two masses  and  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For

------1

for m_2 body

-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

i wanna say it’s between b and d, leaning more towards b.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
