$T_1$ and $T_2$ in the given figure are

Three blocks of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected by massless strings as shown on a frictionless table. They are pulled with a force $F = 40 \, N$. If $m_1 = 10 \, kg, m_2 = 6 \, kg$ and $m_3 = 4 \, kg$,the tension $T_2$ (between $m_1$ and $m_2$) will be ........ $N$.

$A$ steel block of $10\, \text{kg}$ rests on a horizontal floor. When three iron cylinders,each of mass $20\, \text{kg}$,are placed on it as shown,the entire system (block + cylinders) moves downward with an acceleration of $0.2\, \text{m/s}^2$. The normal reaction $R$ exerted by the floor is ..... $\text{N}$. [Take $g = 10\, \text{m/s}^2$]

$A$ mass $1\, kg$ is suspended by a thread. It is
