Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are accelerated uniformly on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The ratio of the tensions $T_1/T_2$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{M_1}{M_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{M_2}{M_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{(M_1+M_2)}{M_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{M_1}{(M_1+M_2)}$

One end of a massless rope,which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley $P$,is tied to a hook while the other is free. The maximum tension the rope can bear is $360 \ N$. With what value of maximum safe acceleration (in $m \ s^{-2}$) can a man of $60 \ kg$ climb on the rope?

$A$ $4 \text{ kg}$ mass is suspended as shown in the figure. All pulleys are frictionless and the spring constant $K$ is $8 \times 10^3 \text{ Nm}^{-1}$. The extension in the spring is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$.

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 ......... $m/s^2$ $(g=10 \, m/s^2)$.
