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
    $T = T' = 500\, N$
  • B
    $T = T' = 250\, N$
  • C
    $T = 200\, N, T' = 300\, N$
  • D
    $T = 300\, N, T' = 200\, N$

$A$ monkey of mass $40 \, kg$ climbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension of $600 \, N$. In which of the following cases will the rope break: the monkey
$(a)$ climbs up with an acceleration of $6 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(b)$ climbs down with an acceleration of $4 \, m \, s^{-2}$
$(c)$ climbs up with a uniform speed of $5 \, m \, s^{-1}$
$(d)$ falls down the rope nearly freely under gravity? (Ignore the mass of the rope).

Three blocks are connected as shown in the figure on a horizontal frictionless table. If $m_1 = 1 \, kg, m_2 = 8 \, kg, m_3 = 27 \, kg$ and $T_3 = 36 \, N$,then $T_2$ will be ............ $N$.

For the given arrangement of blocks on a frictionless surface,the tension $T_2$ is:

Two masses of $5\, kg$ and $3\, kg$ are suspended with the help of massless inextensible strings as shown in the figure. Calculate $T_1$ and $T_2$ when the whole system is moving upwards with an acceleration $a = 2\, m/s^2$ (use $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$).

What is the minimum acceleration with which a person can slide down a rope,if the breaking strength of the rope is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the person's weight?
