  1. A mass of 1 kg is suspended by a thread. It is
    (i)lifted up with an acceleration 4.9 m/s²,
    (ii)lowered with an acceleration 4.9 m/s².
    The ratio of the tensions is
    1. 3 : 1
    2. 1 : 2
    3. 1 : 3
    4. 2 : 1
Correct Option: A

In case (i) we have
T1 - (1 × g) = 1 × 4.9
T1 = 9.8 + 4.9 = 14.7 N
In case (ii), l × g – T2 = 1 × 4.9
T2 = 9.8 – 4.9 = 4.9 N

T1
=
14.7
=
3
T24.91
