$A$ light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $g / 8$,then the ratio of masses is

  • A
    $\frac{9}{7}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{1}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{3}$

$A$ uniform chain of length $2L$ is hanging in an equilibrium position. If end $B$ is given a slightly downward displacement,the imbalance causes an acceleration. Here,the pulley is small and smooth,and the string is inextensible. Find the velocity $v$ of the chain when it slips out of the pulley (height of pulley from floor $> 2L$).

The pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical, and the mass of the rope is negligible. In case $I$, the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In case $II$, the mass $m$ is lifted by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration of mass $m$ in case $I$ is
