In the arrangement shown in the figure,if the blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are released from rest,find the tension in the string. (Given: $\mu_1 = 2/3$ for mass $m$,$\mu_2 = 1/3$ for mass $2m$,the string is massless and inextensible,and the pulley is frictionless.)

$A$ $100 \ kg$ gun fires a ball of $1 \ kg$ horizontally from a cliff of height $500 \ m$. It falls on the ground at a distance of $400 \ m$ from the bottom of the cliff. The recoil velocity of the gun is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$). (in $ms^{-1}$)

In the given figure, the blocks $A$, $B$, and $C$ weigh $4 \ kg$, $6 \ kg$, and $8 \ kg$ respectively. The coefficient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is $0.5$. The force $\vec{F}$ required to slide the block $C$ with constant speed is . . . . . . $N$. (Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Place a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 \ cm$ and the right one at $90.00 \ cm$. When you attempt to move both fingers slowly towards the center,initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance,the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center $(50.00 \ cm)$ of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$,respectively,the value of $x_R$ (in $cm$) is:

When forces $F_1, F_2, F_3$ are acting on a particle of mass $m$ such that $F_2$ and $F_3$ are mutually perpendicular,the particle remains stationary. If the force $F_1$ is now removed,the acceleration of the particle is:

$A$ constant force $F$ is applied in the horizontal direction as shown. If the contact force between $M$ and $m$ is $N$ and the contact force between $m$ and $M'$ is $N'$,then:
