Three blocks of masses $4\, kg, 8\, kg$ and $24\, kg$ are connected to each other with light strings and placed on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in the figure. If the system moves with an acceleration of $2\, m/s^2$,the applied force $F$ is ............ $N$.

With what minimum acceleration can a fireman slide down a rope if the breaking strength of the rope is $\frac{2}{3}$ of his weight?

Three blocks of masses $4 \ kg$, $2 \ kg$, and $1 \ kg$ respectively are in contact on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. If a force of $14 \ N$ is applied on the $4 \ kg$ block, the contact force between the $4 \ kg$ and the $2 \ kg$ block will be: (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:

$A$ cord is used to lower vertically a block of mass $M$ by a distance $d$ with constant downward acceleration $\frac{g}{4}$. Work done by the cord on the block is

$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.
