$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If the surface between $M$ and $m_0$ has a coefficient of friction $\mu$,find the tension in the string,assuming the system moves together.

  • A
    $\frac{mM}{m + M}g$
  • B
    $\frac{m(m_0 + M)}{m + m_0 + M}g$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m + \mu(m_0 + M)}{m + M} \right]Mg$
  • D
    $\left[ \frac{mM + \mu m(m_0 + M)}{m + M} \right]g$

Consider two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected through a pulley as shown in the figure. Mass $m_2$ starts from rest at height $h$ and falls down. With what speed does it hit the ground? (Assume no friction and massless strings and pulleys.)

$A$ constant horizontal force $\overrightarrow{F}$ of magnitude $10 \,N$ is applied to a block $A$ and this produces an acceleration of magnitude $20 \,m/s^2$. If this block $A$ is then kept against another block $B$ of mass $1.5 \,kg$ as shown in the figure and a force $F^{\prime}$ of $20 \,N$ is applied,find the force on the block $B$. Neglect friction.
