Two weights $2 \,N$ and $3 \,N$ are suspended from the ends of an inextensible string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the pulley is pulled up with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$, then the tension in the string is: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $2.4$
  • B
    $5.0$
  • C
    $4.8$

Two bodies of mass $3\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are suspended at the ends of a massless string passing over a frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the system is ........ $m/s^2$ $(g = 9.8\, m/s^2)$.

$A$ block of mass $10 \ kg$ is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a cord which passes over two light frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The hanging block tied to the other end of the cord is initially at rest $2 \ m$ above the horizontal floor. If the hanging block strikes the floor $2 \ s$ after the system is released,then the weight of the hanging block is ....... $(g=10 \ ms^{-2})$ (in $N$)
