Two identical weights of mass $M$ are linked by a thread wrapped around a frictionless pulley with a fixed axis. $A$ small weight of mass $m$ is placed on one of the weights. What is the reaction force between $m$ and $M$?

  • A
    $\frac{2mMg}{2M + m}$
  • B
    $\frac{Mg(M + m)}{2M + m}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg(M + m)}{2M + m}$
  • D
    $\frac{2Mg(M + m)}{2M + m}$

$A$ man uses two pulleys to raise himself with an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$,as shown in the figure. The man stands on a light weighing machine fitted on a horizontal platform. Determine the reading of the weighing machine. (Mass of man $= 75\,kg$,mass of platform $= 25\,kg$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$) (in $,N$)

$A$ frictionless pulley is attached to one arm of a balance and a string passed around it carries two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. The pulley is provided with a clamp due to which $m_1$ and $m_2$ do not move with respect to each other. On removing the clamp,if the counter mass restores balance,then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ will have a magnitude of?
