$A$ lift is tied with thick iron ropes having mass $M$. The maximum acceleration of the lift is $a \ m/s^2$ and the maximum safe stress is $S \ N/m^2$. The minimum diameter of the rope is

$A$ $4 \text{ kg}$ mass is suspended as shown in the figure. All pulleys are frictionless and the spring constant $K$ is $8 \times 10^3 \text{ Nm}^{-1}$. The extension in the spring is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$.

In order to test the strength of a rope,one end is tied to a large tree and the other end is hitched to a team of $2$ horses. The horses pull as hard as they can,but cannot break the rope. If the rope is untied from the tree and attached to another team of $2$ horses with equal strength,and the two teams pull in opposite directions,the tension in the rope will
