Question 10

Hard

Two blocks of masses 3m and $m\,$ are connected by a light, inextensible string that passes over a smooth, fixed pulley, as shown in the diagram.

Atwood machine

The system is released from rest under gravity, $g$ .

Assuming neither block reaches the pulley or the ground within the time interval $t$ , which of the following expressions represents the magnitude of the total momentum of the two-block system at time $t$ ?

$12mgt\frac{1}{2} mgt$

$m g t$

$2 m g t$

$4 m g t$
