Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ are connected by means of a metal wire of cross-sectional area $A$ passing over a frictionless fixed pulley as shown in the figure. The system is then released. If $M = 2m$,then the stress produced in the wire is

  • A
    $\frac{2mg}{3A}$
  • B
    $\frac{4mg}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg}{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mg}{4A}$

Two blocks are connected by a string as shown in the diagram. The upper block is hung by another string. $A$ force $F$ applied on the upper string produces an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$ in the upward direction in both the blocks. If $T$ and $T'$ are the tensions in the two parts of the string,then $T$ and $T'$ are:
