$A$ painter is applying force himself to raise him and the box with an acceleration of $5\, m/s^2$ by a massless rope and pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The mass of the painter is $100\, kg$ and that of the box is $50\, kg$. If $g = 10\, m/s^2$,then:

$A$ 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

Two bodies of mass $3\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are suspended at the ends of a massless string passing over a frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the system is ........ $m/s^2$ $(g = 9.8\, m/s^2)$.

Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of the same mass,are attached by a thin inextensible string through an ideal pulley. Initially,block $B$ is held in position as shown in the figure. Now,block $B$ is released. Block $A$ will slide to the right and hit the pulley in time $t_A$. Block $B$ will swing and hit the surface in time $t_B$. Assume the surface is frictionless. [Hint: Tension $T$ in the string acting on both blocks is the same in magnitude. Acceleration needed for horizontal motion is provided by $T$.]

For the given system,the acceleration of the system is ........... $m/s^2$.

Three equal weights $A, B$ and $C$ of mass $2\, kg$ each are hanging on a string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The tension in the string connecting weights $B$ and $C$ is ........... $N$.
