The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium,the angle $\theta$ should be:

  • A
    $\cos ^{-1}(1)$
  • B
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

For the system shown in the figure,$m_1 > m_2 > m_3 > m_4$. Initially,the system is at rest in equilibrium. If the string joining $m_4$ and the ground is cut,then just after the string is cut:
Statement $I$: $m_1$,$m_2$,and $m_3$ remain stationary.
Statement $II$: The value of acceleration of all the $4$ blocks can be determined.
Statement $III$: Only $m_4$ remains stationary.
Statement $IV$: Only $m_4$ accelerates.
Statement $V$: All the four blocks remain stationary.
Now,choose the correct option.
