$A$ long plank $P$ of mass $5\, kg$ is placed on a smooth floor. On $P$ is placed a block $Q$ of mass $2\, kg$. The coefficient of friction between $P$ and $Q$ is $0.5$. If a horizontal force $15\, N$ is applied to $Q$,as shown,and you may take $g$ as $10\, N/kg$,then which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The reaction force on $Q$ due to $P$ is $10\, N$.
  • B
    The acceleration of the centre of mass of the $P + Q$ system relative to the floor is $(15/7)\, m/s^2$.
  • C
    The acceleration of $P$ relative to the floor is $2.0\, m/s^2$.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.

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:
