Three weights $A, B$ and $C$ are connected by strings as shown in the figure. The system moves over a frictionless pulley. The tension in the string connecting $A$ and $B$ is (where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $g$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{8g}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{10g}{9}$

$A$ man is standing on a spring platform. The reading of the spring balance is $60\, kg$ wt. If the man jumps off the platform,what happens to the reading of the spring balance?

$A$ bead of mass $m$ can slide on a frictionless fixed ring of radius $r$. With the help of two identical springs of force constant $k$,it is connected to two diametrically opposite nails $A$ and $B$,each of which is at a distance $0.5r$ from the centre $O$ of the ring. The relaxed length of each spring is negligible compared to the radius of the ring. The bead is given a small velocity. What can you predict for the further motion of the bead before any of the springs strikes a nail?
