$A$ block of mass $m$ is released from rest at point $A$ on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ with the vertical. The block slides down and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$. Find the compression in the spring when the speed of the block is maximum.

  • A
    $\frac{mg\sin \theta}{k}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mg\sin \theta}{k}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg\cos \theta}{k}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg}{k}$

Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are arranged as shown in the figure. Let '$a$' be the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. If the mass of $M_1$ is doubled and that of $M_2$ is halved,then the new acceleration of the system is (Treat all surfaces as smooth; masses of pulley and rope are negligible).

The acceleration of the system of two bodies over the wedge as shown in the figure is ....... $m/s^2$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are attached to the ends of a string which passes over a pulley attached to the top of a double inclined plane of angles of inclination $\alpha$ and $\beta$. If the system is released,the acceleration $a$ of the system is given by:

Two bodies of masses $m_{1}=5\,kg$ and $m_{2}=3\,kg$ are connected by a light string going over a smooth light pulley on a smooth inclined plane as shown in the figure. The system is at rest. The force exerted by the inclined plane on the body of mass $m_{1}$ will be $....N$ [Take $g=10\,ms^{-2}$]
