Two masses $M$ and $M/2$ are joined together by means of a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. When the bigger mass is released,the smaller one will ascend with an acceleration of

$A$ light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $g / 8$,then the ratio of masses is

$A$ mass of $10 \; kg$ is suspended by a rope of length $4 \; m$ from the ceiling. $A$ force $F$ is applied horizontally at the mid-point of the rope such that the top half of the rope makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical. Then $F$ equals ........... $N$ (Take $g = 10 \; ms^{-2}$ and the rope to be massless).

Two masses $m_1 = 5\,kg$ and $m_2 = 4.8\,kg$ tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when they are free to move (in $,m/s^2$)? $(g = 9.8\,m/s^2)$

$A$ mass of $100\,kg$ is moved with uniform velocity under the influence of force $F$. Find the force acting on the beam due to the string connected to the ceiling in $N$.

$A$ light string fixed at one end to a clamp on the ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. $A$ monkey of mass $5 \ kg$ climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \ N$ only. The maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is ............ $m/s^2$ (neglect friction and take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).
