$A$ lift of mass $m$ is ascending with an acceleration $a$ $(a < g)$. The tension in the cable of the lift is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$

$A$ mass of $1 \ kg$ is suspended by means of a thread. The system is
$(i)$ lifted up with an acceleration of $4.9 \ ms^{-2}$
(ii) lowered with an acceleration of $4.9 \ ms^{-2}$.
The ratio of tension in the first and second case is

If all surfaces are smooth,then the acceleration of mass $m_2$ will be $-$

Two blocks of masses $2m$ and $m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the $2m$ block towards the right,and the same force $F$ is applied on the $m$ block towards the left. What is the ratio of the contact forces between the two blocks in the two cases?
