Two masses, M1 = 3 kg and M2 = 2 kg, are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley (Atwood machine). The acceleration of the system is (Take g = 10 m/s^2):
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
For an Atwood machine, the common acceleration of both masses is given by the formula a = [(M1 - M2) / (M1 + M2)] * g. Substituting the given values: a = [(3 - 2) / (3 + 2)] * 10 = (1 / 5) * 10 = 2 m/s^2. The heavier mass accelerates downwards, the lighter one upwards.

According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the square of:
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Joule's Law of Heating states that the heat (H) produced in a resistor is given by H = I²Rt. This indicates that the heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the electric current (I), directly proportional to the resistance (R), and directly proportional to the time (t) the current flows.
