(4) 10 N

A body of weight 2kg is suspended as shown in the figure. The tension T₁ in the horizontal string (in kg wt) is 

(1) $2/\sqrt{3}$

(2) $\sqrt{3}/2$

(3) $2\sqrt{3}$

One end of a massless rope, which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley P is tied to a hook C while the other end is free. Maximum tension that the rope can bear is 360 N. with what value of minimum safe acceleration (in ms^–2) can a monkey of 60 kg move down on the rope 

1. 16

2. 6

3. 4

4. 8

A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses m₁ and m₂ (vertically). If the acceleration of the system is g/8 then the ratio of the masses is

(2) Zero kg and 4 kg

(3) 4 kg and 4 kg

(4) 2 kg and 2 kg

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

Two masses m₁ and m₂ (m₁ > m₂) are connected by massless flexible and inextensible string passed over massless and frictionless pulley. The acceleration of centre of mass is

The mass of a body measured by a physical balance in a lift at rest is found to be m. If the lift is going up with an acceleration a, its mass will be measured as:

Three weights W, 2W and 3W are connected to identical springs suspended from a rigid horizontal rod. The assembly of the rod and the weights fall freely. The positions of the weights from the rod are such that

(2) W will be farthest

(3) All will be at the same distance

(4) 2W will be farthest

When forces F₁, F₂, F₃ are acting on a particle of mass m such that F₂ and F₃ are mutually perpendicular, then the particle remains stationary. If the force F₁ is now removed then the acceleration of the particle is 

(1) $F_1/m$

(3) $(F_2-F_3)/m$

(4) $F_2/m$
