Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $10\, kg$ and $15\, kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. If $T$ represents the tension in the string when a horizontal force $F = 500\, N$ is applied to $A$ (as shown in figure $I$) and $T'$ is the tension when it is applied to $B$ (figure $II$),then which of the following is true?

An elevator of mass $500 \,kg$ is ascending upwards with a constant acceleration $a=2 \,m/s^2$. What is the work done by the tension in the elevator cable during its climb by $12 \,m$ (in $\,kJ$)? (Take $g=10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then

The maximum tension a rope can withstand is $60 \,kg$-wt. The ratio of maximum acceleration with which two boys of masses $20 \,kg$ and $30 \,kg$ can climb up the rope at the same time is
