The figure shows a boy on a horizontal platform $A$ on a smooth horizontal surface,holding a rope attached to a box $B$. The boy pulls the rope with a constant force of $50 \ N$. (The boy does not slip over the platform). The combined mass of platform $A$ and the boy is $250 \ kg$,and that of box $B$ is $500 \ kg$. The velocity of $A$ relative to the box $B$,$5 \ s$ after the boy on $A$ begins to pull the rope,will be ............ $m/s$.

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $0.5$

$A$ 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.

The mass of a lift is $500\, kg$. When it ascends with an acceleration of $2\, m/s^2$,the tension in the cable will be........... $N$ $[g = 10\, m/s^2]$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.

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 ........ $N$.

$A$ bar of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving due to a constant force $F$. In the process of its rectilinear motion,the angle $\theta$ between the direction of this force and the horizontal varies as $\theta = k x$,where $k$ is a constant and $x$ is the distance traversed by the bar from its initial position. The velocity $(v)$ of the bar as a function of the angle $\theta$ is
