Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are suspended as shown in the figure. The mass of each block $A$ and $C$ is $m$. If the system is in equilibrium and the mass of $B$ is $M$,then:

  • A
    $M=2 m$
  • B
    $M < 2 m$
  • C
    $M > 2 m$
  • D
    $M=m$

$A$ light string fixed at one end to a clamp on the ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. $A$ monkey of mass $5 \ kg$ climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \ N$ only. The maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is ............ $m/s^2$ (neglect friction and take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

In the arrangement shown,the mass $m$ will ascend with an acceleration (Pulley and rope are massless).

Two masses of $5 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ are suspended from a massless pulley as shown in the figure. Calculate the acceleration of the system when the masses are left free.

Three blocks $M_1, M_2, M_3$ having masses $4 \ kg, 6 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ respectively are hanging from a smooth pulley using ropes $1, 2$ and $3$ as shown in the figure. The tension in the rope $1, T_1$,when they are moving upward with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$ is ............... $N$ (if $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

$A$ light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $g / 8$,then the ratio of masses is
