Two objects $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a light inextensible string. They are restricted to move on a frictionless ring of radius $R$ in a vertical plane (as shown in the figure). The objects are released from rest at the position shown. Then,the tension in the cord just after release is

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $mg$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}mg$
  • D
    $mg/2$

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has a force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then the maximum retardation of $M$ is:

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ kept on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a massless string. Two horizontal forces $F_1 = (4.2t) \text{ N}$ and $F_2 = (7.5t) \text{ N}$,where '$t$' is time in seconds,are acting on the system as shown in the figure. The time at which the tension in the string between the two blocks becomes $10.6 \text{ N}$ is $t$ seconds.
