Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ are connected by means of a metal wire of cross-sectional area $A$ passing over a frictionless fixed pulley as shown in the figure. The system is then released. If $M = 2m$,then the stress produced in the wire is

  • A
    $\frac{2mg}{3A}$
  • B
    $\frac{4mg}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg}{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mg}{4A}$

$A$ $2 \, kg$ block is lying on a smooth table and is connected to a body of mass $1 \, kg$ by a string passing over a pulley. The $1 \, kg$ mass is hanging vertically. Find the acceleration of the block and the tension in the string.

For the system shown in the figure,$m_1 > m_2 > m_3 > m_4$. Initially,the system is at rest in equilibrium. If the string joining $m_4$ and the ground is cut,then just after the string is cut:
Statement $I$: $m_1$,$m_2$,and $m_3$ remain stationary.
Statement $II$: The value of acceleration of all the $4$ blocks can be determined.
Statement $III$: Only $m_4$ remains stationary.
Statement $IV$: Only $m_4$ accelerates.
Statement $V$: All the four blocks remain stationary.
Now,choose the correct option.

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is hanging from a pulley inside a car by a string. The other end of the string is held by a person standing in the car. The car is moving with a constant horizontal acceleration '$a$' as shown in the figure. The other end of the string is pulled with a constant acceleration '$a$' vertically downward. The tension in the string is equal to-

$A$ lift is going up. The total mass of the lift and the passenger is $1500\, kg$. The variation in the speed of the lift is as given in the graph. The tension in the rope pulling the lift at $t = 11\, s$ will be ............ $N$.

Two identical blocks each of mass $M$ are attached to the ends of a massless inextensible string which passes over a pulley with a fixed axis as shown below. $A$ small mass $m$ is now placed on block $B$ (the right block). The acceleration with which the two blocks move together is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).
