Three weights $A, B$ and $C$ are connected by strings as shown in the figure. The system moves over a frictionless pulley. The tension in the string connecting $A$ and $B$ is (where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $g$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{8g}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{10g}{9}$

Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

From Newton's second law of motion,it can be inferred that

$A$ person of mass $60\, kg$ is inside a lift of mass $940\, kg$ and presses the button on the control panel. The lift starts moving upwards with an acceleration of $1.0\, m/s^2$. If $g = 10\, m/s^2$,the tension in the supporting cable is .......... $N$.

$A$ block is placed on a rough horizontal plane. $A$ time-dependent horizontal force $F = Kt$ acts on the block,where $K$ is a positive constant. The acceleration-time graph of the block is:

$A$ block of mass $M = 100 \, kg$ is pulled by a force $T$ at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ person of mass $m = 25 \, kg$ is standing on a platform and pulls the block with the force $T$. Find the maximum upward acceleration $a_{\max}$ of the person such that the block just starts to move.
