MCQ

An elevator accelerates upwards at a constant rate. A uniform string of length $L$ and mass $m$ supports a small block of mass $M$ that hangs from the ceiling of the elevator. The tension at distance $l$ from the ceiling is $T$ . The acceleration of the elevator is

✓
$\frac{T}{{M\ +\ m\ - \frac{{ml}}{L}}} - g$
B
$\frac{T}{{2M\ +\ m\ - \frac{{ml}}{L}}} - g$
C
$\frac{T}{{M\ +\ \frac{{ml}}{L}}} - g$
D
$\frac{T}{{2M\ -\ m\ + \frac{{ml}}{L}}} - g$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{T}{{M\ +\ m\ - \frac{{ml}}{L}}} - g$

a
Let $a$ be the acceleration of the lift Mass of lower portion of string

$=\frac{m}{L}(L-l)$

$\therefore T-M g-\frac{m g}{L}(L-l)=\left(M+\frac{m}{L}(L-1)\right) a$

$\therefore a=\frac{T}{M+m-\frac{m l}{L}}-g$
