Consider two different situations. In situation A, a box of mass M on a frictionless tabletop is being pulled by a constant horizontal force F = mg. In situation B. a box of mass M is on a frictionless tabletop and a string of negligible mass runs over a peg of negligible friction, to a hanging mass m which is allowed to fall. F= mg M M A B mg In which situation would the acceleration a of the box of mass M be the largest? 1. The acceleration is the same in situations A and B. since the same force my acts. 2. In situation B 3. Initially, the acceleration is largest in sit- nation A, but as the mass m begins to fall faster, it will become largest in situation B. 4. Not enough information is provided. 5. Initially, the acceleration is largest in sit- nation B, but as the mass i begins to fall faster, it will become largest in situation A. 6. In situation A
