$A$ steel block of $10\, \text{kg}$ rests on a horizontal floor. When three iron cylinders,each of mass $20\, \text{kg}$,are placed on it as shown,the entire system (block + cylinders) moves downward with an acceleration of $0.2\, \text{m/s}^2$. The normal reaction $R$ exerted by the floor is ..... $\text{N}$. [Take $g = 10\, \text{m/s}^2$]

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $10\, kg$ and $15\, kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. If $T$ represents the tension in the string when a horizontal force $F = 500\, N$ is applied to $A$ (as shown in figure $I$) and $T'$ is the tension when it is applied to $B$ (figure $II$),then which of the following is true?

$A$ monkey is descending from the branch of a tree with constant acceleration. If the breaking strength of the branch is $75 \%$ of the weight of the monkey,what is the minimum acceleration with which the monkey can slide down without breaking the branch?

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has a force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then the maximum retardation of $M$ is:
