The system shown in the figure is in equilibrium and at rest. The spring and string are massless. Now,the string is cut. The acceleration of mass $2m$ and $m$ just after the string is cut will be:

  • A
    $\frac{g}{2}$ upwards,$g$ downwards
  • B
    $g$ upwards,$\frac{g}{2}$ downwards
  • C
    $g$ upwards,$2g$ downwards
  • D
    $2g$ upwards,$g$ downwards

The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction between the block and the lower half of the plane is given by:

Three forces $\vec{F}_1=(2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}) \,N$,$\vec{F}_2=(2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \,N$,and $\vec{F}_3=(\hat{k}-4 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}) \,N$ are applied on an object of mass $1 \,kg$ at rest at the origin. The position of the object at $t=2 \,s$ will be:

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ force making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal starts acting on the block. The magnitude of the force is constant but its direction with the horizontal changes as $\theta = a + bs$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $s$ is the distance covered by the block. If $|F| = 2mb$,find the velocity of the block as a function of the angle $\theta$.

The figure shows an arrangement of a rod of length $l$ and mass $M$ and a bead of mass $m$ attached to a weightless string passing over a frictionless pulley. At $t = 0$,the bead is level with the lower end of the rod. The bead slides down the string with considerable friction and is opposite to the other end of the rod after $T$ seconds. Assuming friction between the bead and the string to be constant throughout,the frictional force is:

Two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are separated from each other by a powder charge placed between them. The whole system is at rest on the ground. Suddenly,the powder charge explodes and the masses are pushed apart. The mass $m_1$ travels a distance $s_1$ and stops. If the coefficients of friction between the balls and the ground are the same,the mass $m_2$ stops after travelling the distance:
