Infinite is not possible!

In the infinite pulley system shown, m 0 = 4 m_0=4 and m i = ( 3 4 ) i 1 m_i=\big(\frac{3}{4}\big)^{i-1} for i > 0. i>0.

At the moment the pulleys are released from rest, what is the magnitude of acceleration of mass m 0 m_0 in SI units, to 2 decimal places?

Take g = 10 m/s 2 . g=10\text{ m/s}^2. Also assume all strings and pulleys to be massless.


The answer is 2.00.
