Multiple-Object Systems Without Friction: Two Objects Having Masses M₁ and M₂

Multiple Choice

Multiple-object systems without friction: Two objects having masses m₁ and m₂ are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension T in the string just after the objects are released?

A) T = m₂g
B) T > m₂g
C) T < m₂g
D) T = m₁g
E) T > m₁g
