Question:
The Atwood machine can be used to find the acceleration due to gravity using the equation:

Option A):
g = 2 (m₁ x m₂)/(m₁ + m₂) a
Option B):
g = 2 (m₁ + m₂)/(m₁ - m₂) a
Option C):
g = 2 (m₁ x m₂)/(m₁ - m₂) a
Option D):
g = 2 (m₁ - m₂)/(m₁ + m₂) a

Correct Answer is Option B):
g = 2 (m₁ + m₂)/(m₁ - m₂) a
