Question
A hanging mass M is connected to a four times bigger mass by using a string-pulley arrangement, as shown in the figure. The bigger mass is placed on a horizontal ice-slab and being pulled by 2 Mg force. In this situation, tension in the string is ${x \over 5}$ Mg for x = ______________. Neglect mass of the string and friction of the block (bigger mass) with ice slab.
(Given g = acceleration due to gravity)
