Consider a body of mass $3\,kg$ at rest on a smooth horizontal table. This body is connected by a light string,which passes over a smooth pulley at the edge of the table,to another body of mass $2\,kg$ hanging freely. This $2\,kg$ mass is released from rest. Now consider the following statements:
$(A)$ The masses remain at rest.
$(B)$ The $3\,kg$ mass moves uniformly while the $2\,kg$ mass moves with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(C)$ Both bodies move with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(D)$ The tension in the string near the first body is more than that near the second body.
$(E)$ The tension in the string is $\frac{6g}{5}\,N$.
Then the correct statements are:

In order to raise a mass of $100\,kg$,a man of mass $60\,kg$ fastens a rope to it and passes the rope over a smooth pulley. He climbs the rope with an acceleration $5g/4$ relative to the rope. The tension in the rope is ....... $N$. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

Two weights $W_1$ and $W_2$ are tied to a massless string and passed over a pulley. If the pulley is accelerated upwards with an acceleration $g$,what will be the tension in the string?

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass $m$ and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed $v$,the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is ($T$ is the tension in the string).

In the case of a wire having negligible mass,suspended from a ceiling and stretched under the action of a weight $F$ suspended from its other end,the tension at any cross-section of the wire is
