Three blocks of masses $4\,kg$,$6\,kg$ and $8\,kg$ are hanging over a fixed pulley as shown. The tension in the string connecting the $8\,kg$ and $4\,kg$ blocks is:

  • A
    $4\,N$
  • B
    $6\,N$
  • C
    $\frac{160}{3}\,N$
  • D
    $\frac{80}{3}\,N$

In order to test the strength of a rope,one end is tied to a large tree and the other end is hitched to a team of $2$ horses. The horses pull as hard as they can,but cannot break the rope. If the rope is untied from the tree and attached to another team of $2$ horses with equal strength,and the two teams pull in opposite directions,the tension in the rope will

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)
