An $80\, kg$ person is parachuting and is experiencing a downward acceleration of $2.8\, m/s^2$. The mass of the parachute is $5\, kg$. The upward force on the open parachute is ........... $N$ (Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $1 \, kg$ is suspended by a string of mass $1 \, kg$ and length $1 \, m$ as shown in the figure. Taking $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,calculate the force exerted by the support on the string. (in $, N$)

The arrangement of a two-block system is as shown. Assuming the surfaces to be frictionless,the net force acting on the $1 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ blocks are,respectively:

Two blocks of masses $2m$ and $m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the $2m$ block towards the right,and the same force $F$ is applied on the $m$ block towards the left. What is the ratio of the contact forces between the two blocks in the two cases?

$A$ block of mass $m_1$ rests on a horizontal table. $A$ string tied to the block is passed over a frictionless pulley fixed at the end of the table,and to the other end of the string is hung another block of mass $m_2$. The acceleration of the system is
