An elevator accelerates upwards at a constant rate. $A$ uniform string of length $L$ and mass $m$ supports a small block of mass $M$ that hangs from the ceiling of the elevator. The tension at distance $l$ from the ceiling is $T$. The acceleration of the elevator is

Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal masses $m$ are attached to a string of total length $2\, m$ as shown in the figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant angular velocity $\omega$. The distance $OP = 1\, m$ and $PQ = 1\, m$. What is the value of the ratio $\left( \frac{\text{Tension in the string between } P \text{ and } Q}{\text{Tension in the string between } O \text{ and } P} \right)?$

$A$ block of mass $48 \ kg$ kept on a smooth horizontal surface is pulled by a rope of length $4 \ m$ by a horizontal force of $25 \ N$ applied to the other end. If the linear density of the rope is $0.5 \ kg \ m^{-1}$,the force acting on the block is (in $N$)

Two bodies of masses $10\; kg$ and $20\; kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. $A$ horizontal force $F = 600\; N$ is applied to $(i)\; A$,$(ii)\; B$ along the direction of the string. What is the tension in the string in each case?

$A$ rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is acted on by two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ $(F_2 < F_1)$ as shown in the figure. The tension in the rod at a distance $y$ from the end $A$ is given by:

$A$ rope of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pulled by a constant force $F$ on a frictionless surface. What is the tension in the rope at a distance $x$ from the end where the force is applied?
