$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.

  • A
    $\frac{MF}{m + M}$
  • B
    $\frac{mF}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{(m + M)F}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{mF}{m + M}$

Two masses $A$ and $B$,each of mass $M$,are connected by a massless spring. $A$ force $F$ acts on the mass $B$ as shown in the figure. If the mass $A$ starts moving away from mass $B$ with acceleration $a$,then the acceleration of mass $B$ will be:

$A$ monkey of mass $40 \, kg$ climbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension of $600 \, N$. In which of the following cases will the rope break: the monkey
$(a)$ climbs up with an acceleration of $6 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(b)$ climbs down with an acceleration of $4 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(c)$ climbs up with a uniform speed of $5 \, m \, s^{-1}$
$(d)$ falls down the rope nearly freely under gravity? (Ignore the mass of the rope).

Three identical particles of mass $m$ are joined together by a thread as shown in the figure. All three particles are moving in a horizontal plane in a circle about the point $O$. If the velocity of the outermost particle is $v_0$,then the ratio of tensions in the three sections of the string is:
