Two blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $20 \,kg$, lying on a frictionless table, are connected by a light string. The system is pulled horizontally with an acceleration of $2 \,ms^{-2}$ by a force $F$ applied on block $B$. The tension in the string will be: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $120$

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 $\,ms^{-2}$)

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.

If the system is in equilibrium,what should be the tension in the rope?

$A$ student calculates the acceleration of $m_1$ in the figure shown as $a_1 = \frac{(m_1 - m_2)g}{m_1 + m_2}$. Which assumption is not required to do this calculation?
