Two blocks of masses in the ratio $m:n$ are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless fixed pulley. If the system of the blocks is released from rest, then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the system of the blocks is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\left(\frac{m+n}{m-n}\right)^2 g$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{m-n}{m+n}\right)^2 g$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m+n}{m-n}\right) g$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{m-n}{m+n}\right) g$

The figure shows an arrangement of a rod of length $l$ and mass $M$ and a bead of mass $m$ attached to a weightless string passing over a frictionless pulley. At $t = 0$,the bead is level with the lower end of the rod. The bead slides down the string with considerable friction and is opposite to the other end of the rod after $T$ seconds. Assuming friction between the bead and the string to be constant throughout,the frictional force is:
