$A$ chain is lying on an absolutely smooth table,with half of it hanging over the edge of the table as shown in figure $(a)$. The time it takes to slip off the table is affected if two equal weights are attached,one to each end as shown in figure $(b)$.
$t_a$ : time taken to slip in situation $(a)$
$t_b$ : time taken to slip in situation $(b)$

  • A
    $t_a > t_b$
  • B
    $t_a < t_b$
  • C
    $t_a = t_b$
  • D
    cannot be determined

Two blocks of mass $M_1 = 20\,kg$ and $M_2 = 12\,kg$ are connected by a metal rod of mass $8\,kg$. The system is pulled vertically up by applying a force of $480\,N$ as shown. The tension at the mid-point of the rod is ........ $N$.

$A$ block of mass $48 \ kg$ kept on a smooth horizontal surface is pulled by a rope of length $4 \ m$ by a horizontal force of $25 \ N$ applied to the other end. If the linear density of the rope is $0.5 \ kg \ m^{-1}$,the force acting on the block is (in $N$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides down on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. Let $\vec a_1$ be the acceleration of the wedge and $\vec a_2$ be the acceleration of the block with respect to the ground. $N_1$ is the normal reaction between the block and the wedge,and $N_2$ is the normal reaction between the wedge and the ground. Friction is absent everywhere. Select the incorrect alternative.

$A$ monkey of mass $40 \, kg$ climbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension of $600 \, N$. In which of the following cases will the rope break: the monkey
$(a)$ climbs up with an acceleration of $6 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(b)$ climbs down with an acceleration of $4 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(c)$ climbs up with a uniform speed of $5 \, m \, s^{-1}$
$(d)$ falls down the rope nearly freely under gravity? (Ignore the mass of the rope).

For the given figure,find the value of $m$ (in $kg$) for which the blocks have an acceleration of $\frac{8}{13}g$. The block on the incline has a mass of $100 \, g = 0.1 \, kg$ and the hanging block on the left has a mass of $50 \, g = 0.05 \, kg$. The surface is frictionless $(\mu = 0)$.
