Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a metal wire of negligible mass and having cross-sectional area $A$,passing over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure. If the masses are released from rest,then the stress produced in the wire is:

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{4A}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mg}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{3mg}{4A}$
  • D
    $\frac{4mg}{3A}$

Two masses of $5 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ are suspended from a massless pulley as shown in the figure. Calculate the acceleration of the system when the masses are left free.

$A$ man of mass $60 \ kg$ is standing on a platform of mass $40 \ kg$ as shown in the figure. What force should the man apply on the rope so that he accelerates upward with the platform with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$ (in $N$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

If $m_1 = 4m_2$,and the acceleration of $m_1$ is $a$,then find $a$.

Two masses $m_1 = 3\,kg$ and $m_2 = 7\,kg$ are tied to a string and are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when the system is free to move (in $,m/s^2$)? $[g = 10\,m/s^2]$

Two identical blocks each of mass $M$ are attached to the ends of a massless inextensible string which passes over a pulley with a fixed axis as shown below. $A$ small mass $m$ is now placed on block $B$ (the right block). The acceleration with which the two blocks move together is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).
