$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If the surface between $M$ and $m_0$ has a coefficient of friction $\mu$,find the tension in the string,assuming the system moves together.

  • A
    $\frac{mM}{m + M}g$
  • B
    $\frac{m(m_0 + M)}{m + m_0 + M}g$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m + \mu(m_0 + M)}{m + M} \right]Mg$
  • D
    $\left[ \frac{mM + \mu m(m_0 + M)}{m + M} \right]g$

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ kept on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a massless string. Two horizontal forces $F_1 = (4.2t) \text{ N}$ and $F_2 = (7.5t) \text{ N}$,where '$t$' is time in seconds,are acting on the system as shown in the figure. The time at which the tension in the string between the two blocks becomes $10.6 \text{ N}$ is $t$ seconds.
