Three solids of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected with weightless strings in succession and are placed on a frictionless table. If the mass $m_3$ is dragged with a force $T$,the tension in the string between $m_2$ and $m_3$ is

  • A
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • B
    $\frac{m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2 + m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and it is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If $\mu < \mu_{min}$ (the minimum friction required to keep the block $m$ stationary),then the downward acceleration of $m$ is:

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?
