Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $10\, kg$ and $15\, kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. If $T$ represents the tension in the string when a horizontal force $F = 500\, N$ is applied to $A$ (as shown in figure $I$) and $T'$ is the tension when it is applied to $B$ (figure $II$),then which of the following is true?

  • A
    $T = T' = 500\, N$
  • B
    $T = T' = 250\, N$
  • C
    $T = 200\, N, T' = 300\, N$
  • D
    $T = 300\, N, T' = 200\, N$

$A$ block of mass $18.5 \ kg$ kept on a smooth horizontal surface is pulled by a rope of $3 \ m$ length by a horizontal force of $40 \ N$ applied to the other end of the rope. If the linear density of the rope is $0.5 \ kg \ m^{-1}$ and initially the block is at rest,the time in which the block moves a distance of $9 \ m$ is: (in $s$)

For the given figure,find the value of $m$ (in $kg$) for which the blocks have an acceleration of $\frac{8}{13}g$. The block on the incline has a mass of $100 \, g = 0.1 \, kg$ and the hanging block on the left has a mass of $50 \, g = 0.05 \, kg$. The surface is frictionless $(\mu = 0)$.
