Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface and are connected by a string of negligible mass. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied on the mass $m_2$ as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) F$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2 F}{m_1+m_2}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right) F$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2 F}{m_1}$

Three blocks are connected as shown in the figure on a horizontal frictionless table. If $m_1 = 1 \, kg, m_2 = 8 \, kg, m_3 = 27 \, kg$ and $T_3 = 36 \, N$,then $T_2$ will be ............ $N$.

Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. One has mass $m$ and the other $2\,m$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on $2\,m$ as shown in the figure. Now,the same force $F$ is applied from the right on $m$. In the two cases respectively,what is the ratio of the contact force between the two blocks?

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has a force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then the maximum velocity of $M$ is:

For the given figure,what will be the acceleration of the blocks and the tension in the string connecting the $2\,kg$ and $5\,kg$ blocks? (Assume $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.
