One end of a massless rope,which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley $P$,is tied to a hook while the other is free. The maximum tension the rope can bear is $360 \ N$. With what value of maximum safe acceleration (in $m \ s^{-2}$) can a man of $60 \ kg$ climb on the rope?

  • A
    $16$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $8$

$A$ frictionless pulley is attached to one arm of a balance and a string passed around it carries two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. The pulley is provided with a clamp due to which $m_1$ and $m_2$ do not move with respect to each other. On removing the clamp,$m_1$ and $m_2$ start moving. How much change in counter mass has to be made to restore balance?

$A$ weight $W$ can be hung in any of the following four ways by a string of the same type. In which case is the string most likely to break?

$A$ monkey of mass $50\,kg$ climbs on a rope which can withstand the tension $(T)$ of $350\,N$. If the monkey initially climbs down with an acceleration of $4\,m/s^2$ and then climbs up with an acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$,choose the correct option $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$250 \; N$ force is required to raise a $75 \; kg$ mass using a pulley system. If the rope is pulled by $12 \; m$ and the load is lifted by $3 \; m$,the efficiency of the pulley system will be ......$\%$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of the same mass,are attached by a thin inextensible string through an ideal pulley. Initially,block $B$ is held in position as shown in the figure. Now,block $B$ is released. Block $A$ will slide to the right and hit the pulley in time $t_A$. Block $B$ will swing and hit the surface in time $t_B$. Assume the surface is frictionless. [Hint: Tension $T$ in the string acting on both blocks is the same in magnitude. Acceleration needed for horizontal motion is provided by $T$.]
