Both the blocks shown in the figure have mass $m$ and are moving with constant velocity in the directions indicated. They are in a resistive medium which exerts an equal constant force $F$ on both blocks in the direction opposite to their velocity. The tension in the string connecting them is: (Neglect friction)

  • A
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg/2$
  • C
    $mg/3$

$A$ uniform metal chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. It is released from rest with a part of its length $l$ hanging on one side and the rest of its length $L - l$ hanging on the other side of the pulley. At a certain point in time,when $l = \frac{L}{x}$,the acceleration of the chain is $\frac{g}{2}$. The value of $x$ is ........
