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)

$A$ frictionless pulley is attached to one arm of a balance and a string passed around it carries two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. The pulley is provided with a clamp due to which $m_1$ and $m_2$ do not move with respect to each other. On removing the clamp,if the counter mass restores balance,then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ will have a magnitude of?

Two unequal masses are connected on two sides of a light string passing over a light and smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest. The larger mass $(2\, kg)$ is stopped $1\, s$ after the system is set into motion and then released. Find the time elapsed before the string becomes tight again. (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ light spring balance hangs from the hook of another light spring balance,and a block of mass $M \, kg$ hangs from the lower one. Which of the following statements is true regarding the scale readings?

Two identical weights of mass $M$ are linked by a thread wrapped around a frictionless pulley with a fixed axis. $A$ small weight of mass $m$ is placed on one of the weights. What is the reaction force between $m$ and $M$?

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)
