Two masses $M$ and $m$ are connected by a weightless string. They are pulled by a force $F$ on a frictionless horizontal surface. The acceleration of mass $m$ is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides down on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. Let $\vec a_1$ be the acceleration of the wedge and $\vec a_2$ be the acceleration of the block with respect to the ground. $N_1$ is the normal reaction between the block and the wedge,and $N_2$ is the normal reaction between the wedge and the ground. Friction is absent everywhere. Select the incorrect alternative.

Two spheres $P$ and $Q$,each of mass $200 \text{ g}$,are attached to a string of length $1 \text{ m}$ as shown in the figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant angular speed. The ratio of the tension in the string between $P$ and $Q$ to that between $P$ and $O$ is (where $P$ is at the mid-point of the line joining $O$ and $Q$).

If the breaking strength of a rope is $\frac{4}{3}$ times the weight of a person,then the maximum acceleration with which the person can safely climb up the rope is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).
