Shown in the diagram is a system of two bodies,a block of mass $m$ and a disc of mass $4m$,held in equilibrium. If the string $3$ is burnt,find the acceleration of the disc. Neglect the masses of the pulleys $P$ and $Q$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is $0.5$ and the friction between the disc and the string is zero. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts an equal and opposite force on each cart for the same time $t$. If the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the carts is the same,find the ratio of the displacements of the two toy carts.

The figure shows a man standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt that is accelerating with $1 \; m/s^2$. What is the net force on the man? If the coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the belt is $0.2$,up to what acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? (Mass of the man $= 65 \; kg.)$

Two identical balls are connected by a massless and inextensible thread of length $L$. The system is in gravity-free space with the thread just taut. At $t = 0$,each ball is imparted a velocity $v$; one ball is given a velocity towards the other ball,and the other is given a velocity perpendicular to the first. Then,

An ideal spring is connected between two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$. This system can move on a smooth horizontal table. The blocks are brought closer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,select the true statement$(s)$:
$(a)$ They move in opposite directions with speeds inversely proportional to their masses.
$(b)$ The ratio of their speeds remains constant.
$(c)$ Linear momentum and energy of the system remain conserved.

$Assertion$: Use of ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice.
$Reason$: Ball bearings reduce vibrations and provide good stability.
