$A$ small ball $B$ of mass $m$ is suspended with a light inelastic string of length $L$ from a block $A$ of the same mass $m$,which can move on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by an angle $\theta$ from the equilibrium position and then released. The tension in the string when it is vertical is:

  • A
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg(2 - \cos \theta)$
  • C
    $mg(3 - 2 \cos \theta)$
  • D
    None of these

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?

$A$ force $F = Kt$ (where $t$ is the time in seconds and $K = 2 \, N/s$) is applied on a $2 \, kg$ block at $t = 0$ as shown in the figure. The displacement of the $8 \, kg$ block until the time when the $2 \, kg$ block starts slipping on the $8 \, kg$ block will be (coefficient of friction between the $2 \, kg$ block and the $8 \, kg$ block is $0.2$ and between the $8 \, kg$ block and the surface is zero,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$).

Consider a system of blocks $A$, $B$, and $X$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ have equal mass $m$ and are connected by a massless string through a massless pulley. The coefficient of friction between block $A$ and $X$, and between block $B$ and $X$, is $\mu = 0.5$. If block $X$ moves on the horizontal frictionless surface, what should be its minimum acceleration $a$ such that blocks $A$ and $B$ remain stationary relative to $X$? ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity.)

$A$ body of mass $2 \,kg$ is acted upon by two forces each of magnitude $1 \,N$, making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with each other. The net acceleration of the body (in $m/s^2$) is
