Two spheres $P$ and $Q$,each of mass $200 \text{ g}$,are attached to a string of length $1 \text{ m}$ as shown in the figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant angular speed. The ratio of the tension in the string between $P$ and $Q$ to that between $P$ and $O$ is (where $P$ is at the mid-point of the line joining $O$ and $Q$).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{1}$

$A$ system containing masses and pulleys connected on an inclined plane is shown in the figure. If the system is in equilibrium, then the value of $m$ is (in $\,kg$)

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ kept on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a massless string. Two horizontal forces $F_1 = (4.2t) \text{ N}$ and $F_2 = (7.5t) \text{ N}$,where '$t$' is time in seconds,are acting on the system as shown in the figure. The time at which the tension in the string between the two blocks becomes $10.6 \text{ N}$ is $t$ seconds.
