Two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure $(a)$,the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In figure $(b)$,$m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$. The accelerations of $m$ in the two cases are respectively:

  • A
    $3g, g$
  • B
    $g/3, g$
  • C
    $g/3, 2g$
  • D
    $g, g/3$

Consider two blocks of mass $m_1 = 5 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \, kg$ placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the surface is $\mu = 0.2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $10 \, kg$ block. What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that neither block moves? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ $300\ kg$ crate is dropped vertically onto a conveyor belt that is moving at $1.20\ m/s$. $A$ motor maintains the belt's constant speed. The belt initially slides under the crate,with a coefficient of friction of $0.400$. After a short time,the crate is moving at the speed of the belt. During the period in which the crate is being accelerated,find the work done by the motor which drives the belt :- ................. $J$
