For the given arrangement of blocks on a frictionless surface,the tension $T_2$ is:

Three masses of $16 \, kg$,$8 \, kg$,and $4 \, kg$ are placed in contact as shown in the figure. If a force of $140 \, N$ is applied on the $4 \, kg$ mass,then the force on the $16 \, kg$ mass will be ............ $N$.

Two objects $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a light inextensible string. They are restricted to move on a frictionless ring of radius $R$ in a vertical plane (as shown in the figure). The objects are released from rest at the position shown. Then,the tension in the cord just after release is

The figure shows three blocks in contact and kept on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the ratio of the force exerted by block $A$ on $B$ to that of $B$ on $C$?

$A$ 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:

$A$ mass of $1 \ kg$ is suspended by means of a thread. The system is
$(i)$ lifted up with an acceleration of $4.9 \ ms^{-2}$
(ii) lowered with an acceleration of $4.9 \ ms^{-2}$.
The ratio of tension in the first and second case is
