The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium,the angle $\theta$ should be:

  • A
    $\cos ^{-1}(1)$
  • B
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

For the system shown in the figure,$m_1 > m_2 > m_3 > m_4$. Initially,the system is at rest in equilibrium. If the string joining $m_4$ and the ground is cut,then just after the string is cut:
Statement $I$: $m_1$,$m_2$,and $m_3$ remain stationary.
Statement $II$: The value of acceleration of all the $4$ blocks can be determined.
Statement $III$: Only $m_4$ remains stationary.
Statement $IV$: Only $m_4$ accelerates.
Statement $V$: All the four blocks remain stationary.
Now,choose the correct option.

$A$ mass of $1 \ kg$ is suspended by a string $A$. Another string $C$ is connected to its lower end (see figure). If the string $C$ is stretched slowly,then

The maximum acceleration with which a body of mass $200 \, kg$ is lowered into a well using a rope having a breaking force of $50 \, kg$-wt is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, ms^{-2}$) (in $ \, ms^{-2}$)

One end of a light string is fixed to a clamp on the ground and the other end passes over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \,N$. If a monkey of mass $5 \,kg$ were to climb up the rope,then the maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which it can climb safely is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ body of weight $200 \,N$ is suspended from a tree branch through a chain of mass $10 \,kg$. The branch pulls the chain by a force equal to (if $g=10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,N$)
