On a pulley of mass $M$ hangs a rope with two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ $(m_{1} > m_{2})$ tied at the ends as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates without any friction,whereas the friction between the rope and the pulley is large enough to prevent any slipping. Which of the following plots best represents the difference between the tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley as a function of the mass of the pulley?

Consider two blocks of mass $m_1 = 5 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \, kg$ placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the surface is $\mu = 0.2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $10 \, kg$ block. What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that neither block moves? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ hosepipe directs a horizontal jet of water moving with a velocity of $20\, m/s$ onto a vertical wall. The cross-sectional area of the jet is $10^{-3}\, m^2$. If the density of water is $1000\, kg/m^3$,then the force acting on the wall is ........... $N$ [Assuming water comes to rest after striking the wall].

$A$ projectile is thrown from a point $O$ on the ground at an angle $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical and with a speed $5 \sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}$. The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down to the ground,$0.5 \text{ s}$ after the splitting. The other part,$t$ seconds after the splitting,falls to the ground at a distance $x$ meters from the point $O$. The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$.
$(1)$ The value of $t$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ The value of $x$ is. . . . .

$Assertion$: On a rainy day,it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
$Reason$: The value of the coefficient of friction is lowered due to the wetting of the surface.
