A simple Atwood's machine remains motionless when equal masses MM are placed on each end of the chord. When a small mass mm is added to one side, the masses have an acceleration aa. What is MM ? You may neglect friction and the mass of the cord and pulley. (A) m(g−a)2a\frac{m(g-a)}{2 a} (B) 2m(g−a)a\frac{2 m(g-a)}{a} (C) 2m(g+a)a\frac{2 m(g+a)}{a} (D) m(g+a)2a\frac{m(g+a)}{2 a}
