Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block B by a light string that passes over an ideal pulley. Block A is on a surface of negligible friction. The blocks are released from rest, block A accelerates up the incline, and its acceleration a is measured. Which of the following uses the data for the magnitude of the acceleration to support a correct claim about the masses of the blocks?
If a>gsinθ , then m1>m2.
A
If am2.
B
If a>gsinθ, then m1
C
If a>gsinθ, then m1
D
It cannot be determined which block has more mass from the information provided.
E
