An arrangement of a spring,strings,a pulley,and masses is shown in the figure below. The pulley and the strings are massless and $M > m$. The spring is light with spring constant $k$. If the string connecting $m$ to the ground is detached,then immediately after detachment,

Two masses $m_1 = 5\, kg$ and $m_2 = 4.8\, kg$ tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the masses when they are free to move is $...........\, m/s^2$. $(g = 9.8\, m/s^2)$

Two identical weights of mass $M$ are linked by a thread wrapped around a frictionless pulley with a fixed axis. $A$ small weight of mass $m$ is placed on one of the weights. What is the reaction force between $m$ and $M$?

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

One end of a light string is fixed to a clamp on the ground and the other end passes over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \,N$. If a monkey of mass $5 \,kg$ were to climb up the rope,then the maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which it can climb safely is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)
