Two identical blocks each of mass $M$ are attached to the ends of a massless inextensible string which passes over a pulley with a fixed axis as shown below. $A$ small mass $m$ is now placed on block $B$ (the right block). The acceleration with which the two blocks move together is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

$A$ lift is tied with thick iron ropes having mass $M$. The maximum acceleration of the lift is $a \ m/s^2$ and the maximum safe stress is $S \ N/m^2$. The minimum diameter of the rope is

In the system shown in the figure,there is no friction anywhere. The block $C$ $(2 \, kg)$ moves down by a distance $x_0 = 10 \, cm$ with respect to the wedge $D$ $(4 \, kg)$ when the system is released from rest. The velocity of $A$ $(1 \, kg)$ with respect to $B$ $(1 \, kg)$ will be $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$ ......... $m/s$.

In the figure shown,both blocks are released from rest. Find the time taken for them to cross each other. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Three blocks of masses $m_1=4 \, kg$, $m_2=2 \, kg$, and $m_3=4 \, kg$ are connected with ideal strings passing over a smooth, massless pulley as shown in the figure. The acceleration of the blocks will be ......... $m/s^2$ $(g=10 \, m/s^2)$.
