Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are attached to the ends of a string which passes over a pulley attached to the top of a double inclined plane of angles of inclination $\alpha$ and $\beta$. If the system is released,the acceleration $a$ of the system is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{M_2(\sin \beta)g}{M_1 + M_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{M_1(\sin \alpha)g}{M_1 + M_2}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{M_2 \sin \beta - M_1 \sin \alpha}{M_1 + M_2} \right)g$
  • D
    zero

As shown in the figure,an iron block $A$ of volume $0.25 \ m^3$ is attached to a spring $S$ of unstretched length $1.0 \ m$ and hanging from the ceiling. The spring gets stretched by $0.2 \ m$. This block is removed and another iron block $B$ of volume $0.75 \ m^3$ is now attached to the same spring and kept on a frictionless inclined plane of $30^{\circ}$ inclination. The distance of the block from the top along the incline at equilibrium is (in $m$)

$A$ perfectly smooth sphere $A$ of mass $2 \ kg$ is in contact with a rectangular block $B$ of mass $4 \ kg$ and a vertical wall as shown in the figure. All surfaces are smooth. Find the normal reaction exerted by the vertical wall on sphere $A$ (in $N$). Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.

$A$ solid sphere,a hollow sphere,and a ring are released from the top of a frictionless inclined plane,causing them to slide down the plane. For which object is the acceleration down the plane the maximum?

What should be the minimum force $P$ to be applied to the string so that a block of mass $M$ just begins to move up the frictionless inclined plane? The string passes over a pulley attached to the block,with one end fixed to the incline and the other pulled with force $P$ at an angle $\theta$ with the incline.
