Masses of $10\, kg$ and $20\, kg$ are connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $200\, N$ acts on the $20\, kg$ mass. At the instant shown,the $10\, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12\, m/s^2$. What is the acceleration of the $20\, kg$ mass in $m/s^2$?

Block $B$ of mass $100 \ kg$ rests on a rough surface with a friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of mass $25 \ kg$ can climb the rope without making the block move is:

$A$ block $B$,lying on a table,has weight $w$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $\mu$. Assume that the cord between $B$ and the knot is horizontal. The maximum weight of the block $A$ for which the system will be stationary is

$A$ system consists of three masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P$. The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction $= \mu$). The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass $m_1$ is (Assume $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m$)

Two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure $(a)$,the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In figure $(b)$,$m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$. The accelerations of $m$ in the two cases are respectively:
