Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$-axis with $a_0$,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the tension $T$ in the string.

  • A
    No value of $a_0$ exists at which $T$ is equal to zero.
  • B
    There exists a value of $a_0$ at which $T = mg$.
  • C
    If $T < mg$,then it must be more than $\mu Mg$.
  • D
    All of the above.

An ideal spring is connected between two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$. This system can move on a smooth horizontal table. The blocks are brought closer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,select the true statement$(s)$:
$(a)$ They move in opposite directions with speeds inversely proportional to their masses.
$(b)$ The ratio of their speeds remains constant.
$(c)$ Linear momentum and energy of the system remain conserved.

$A$ balloon with mass $m$ is descending down with an acceleration $a$ (where $a < g$). How much mass should be removed from it so that it starts moving up with an acceleration $a$?

$A$ system consists of three masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P$. The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction $= \mu$). The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass $m_1$ is (Assume $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m$)
