Two blocks of mass $M$ and $m$ are kept on a trolley of mass $M_0$ as shown in the figure. All surfaces are smooth. Select the correct statement.

  • A
    If $F=0$,the blocks cannot remain stationary.
  • B
    For one unique value of $F$,the blocks will be stationary relative to the trolley.
  • C
    The blocks cannot be stationary for any value of $F$ because all surfaces are smooth.
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.

$A$ block of mass $1\,kg$ is suspended by a string of mass $1\,kg$ and length $1\,m$ as shown in the figure. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$. Calculate the tension (in $N$) in the string at its lowest point.

$A$ body of mass $m$ is allowed to fall with the help of a string with downward acceleration $\frac{g}{6}$ to a distance $x$. The work done by the string is .............

Two particles of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2a$. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $a$ from the center $P$ (as shown in the figure). Now,the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$. As a result,the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration,when the separation between them becomes $2x$ is

$A$ painter is applying force himself to raise him and the box with an acceleration of $5\, m/s^2$ by a massless rope and pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The mass of the painter is $100\, kg$ and that of the box is $50\, kg$. If $g = 10\, m/s^2$,then:
