Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are attached to the ends of a string which passes over a pulley attached to the top of a double inclined plane of angles of inclination $\alpha$ and $\beta$. If the system is released,the acceleration $a$ of the system is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{M_2(\sin \beta)g}{M_1 + M_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{M_1(\sin \alpha)g}{M_1 + M_2}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{M_2 \sin \beta - M_1 \sin \alpha}{M_1 + M_2} \right)g$
  • D
    zero
