Two masses $M$ and $M/2$ are joined together by means of a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. When the bigger mass is released,the smaller one will ascend with an acceleration of

$A$ $4 \text{ kg}$ mass is suspended as shown in the figure. All pulleys are frictionless and the spring constant $K$ is $8 \times 10^3 \text{ Nm}^{-1}$. The extension in the spring is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$.

When the system is allowed to fall freely,the tension in the string between the $10 \, kg$ and $5 \, kg$ masses is .......... $N$.

In the figure shown,both blocks are released from rest. Find the time taken for them to cross each other. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

In the arrangement shown in the figure, the work done by the string on the block of mass $0.36 \,kg$ during the first second after the blocks are released from a state of rest is: (Ignore friction and the mass of the string.)
(Acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,J$)

$A$ light string passes over a frictionless pulley. To one of its ends a mass of $6\, kg$ is attached. To its other end a mass of $10\, kg$ is attached. The tension in the thread will be ........ $N$.
