Multiple Choice

FIGURE 4-4
-Two masses, m₁ and m₂, are connected to each other as shown in Fig. 4-4. Mass m₁ slides without friction on the table surface. Both masses have acceleration of magnitude a as shown. How does the tension in the string compare to the weight, m₂ g, of mass m₂?

• A)The tension is equal to m₂ g.
• B)The tension is larger than m₂ g.
• C)The tension is smaller than m₂ g.
• D)It depends on m₁ being smaller than m₂.
• E)It depends on m₁ being larger than m₂.
