Physics - NLM Question with Solution | TestHub

Balances A ($2m$) $⟹F_{s1}=2mg$.

Balances E ($m$) $⟹F_{s2}=mg$.

Block A: Still held by Spring 1 ($2mg$ up) and gravity ($2mg$ down).

$a_A=\frac{2mg-2mg}{2m}=0$ (Option A)

Block E: Still held by Spring 2 ($mg$ up) and gravity ($mg$ down).

$a_E=\frac{mg-mg}{m}=0$ (Option B)
