In the diagram,$BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $k = \frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$,then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Find the value of $\mu + \sqrt{3}$.

Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Choose the correct statement$(s)$ related to the tension $T$ in the string.
