Three solids of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected with weightless strings in succession and are placed on a frictionless table. If the mass $m_3$ is dragged with a force $T$,the tension in the string between $m_2$ and $m_3$ is

  • A
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • B
    $\frac{m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2 + m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$

Two particles each of mass $m$ are moving in horizontal circles with the same angular speed $\omega$. If both strings are of the same length $l$,find the ratio of tension in the strings $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$.

The maximum tension a rope can withstand is $60 \,kg$-wt. The ratio of maximum acceleration with which two boys of masses $20 \,kg$ and $30 \,kg$ can climb up the rope at the same time is

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ kept on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a massless string. Two horizontal forces $F_1 = (4.2t) \text{ N}$ and $F_2 = (7.5t) \text{ N}$,where '$t$' is time in seconds,are acting on the system as shown in the figure. The time at which the tension in the string between the two blocks becomes $10.6 \text{ N}$ is $t$ seconds.

$A$ trolley of mass $5\,kg$ on a horizontal smooth surface is pulled by a load of mass $2\,kg$ by means of a uniform rope $ABC$ of length $2\,m$ and mass $1\,kg$. As the load falls from $BC = 0$ to $BC = 2\,m$,its acceleration in $m/s^2$ changes from:
