$A$ uniform rope of mass $M$ and length $L$ is fixed at its upper end vertically from a rigid support. The tension in the rope at a distance $l$ from the rigid support is:

  • A
    $M g \frac{L}{L+l}$
  • B
    $\frac{M g}{L}(L-l)$
  • C
    $M g$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{L} M g$

In the given figure,two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ $(m_2 > m_1)$ are at rest in an equilibrium position. Find the tension in string $AB$.

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

Two masses $M$ and $M/2$ are joined together by means of a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. When the bigger mass is released,the smaller one will ascend with an acceleration of
