$A$ uniform metal chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. It is released from rest with a part of its length $l$ hanging on one side and the rest of its length $L - l$ hanging on the other side of the pulley. At a certain point in time,when $l = \frac{L}{x}$,the acceleration of the chain is $\frac{g}{2}$. The value of $x$ is ........

In the arrangement shown in the figure, the work done by the string on the block of mass $0.36 \,kg$ during the first second after the blocks are released from a state of rest is: (Ignore friction and the mass of the string.)
(Acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,J$)

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 $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ (where $m_2 > m_1$). If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}$,then the ratio of the masses $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is:

$A$ painter is applying force himself to raise him and the box with an acceleration of $5\, m/s^2$ by a massless rope and pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The mass of the painter is $100\, kg$ and that of the box is $50\, kg$. If $g = 10\, m/s^2$,then:
