Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When set free,$m_1$ moves downwards by $3 \ m$ in $3 \ s$. The ratio of $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is $(g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$.

  • C
    $\frac{10}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{13}$

$A$ pendulum bob of mass $50 \,g$ is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. The tension in the string if the elevator goes up with uniform velocity is approximately .......... $N$.

Two masses of $5\, kg$ and $10\, kg$ are connected to a pulley as shown. What will be the acceleration of the system if the pulley is set free? ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity)

One end of a light string is fixed to a clamp on the ground and the other end passes over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \,N$. If a monkey of mass $5 \,kg$ were to climb up the rope,then the maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which it can climb safely is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

If all the pulleys are massless and the string is ideal,find the reading of the spring balance.
