Two weights of mass $m_{1}$ and $m_{2} (> m_{1})$ are joined by an inextensible string of negligible mass passing over a fixed frictionless pulley. The magnitude of the acceleration of the loads is

  • A
    $g$
  • B
    $\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{2}} g$
  • C
    $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}+m_{1}} g$
  • D
    $\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{2}+m_{1}} g$

$A$ 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?

$A$ light string passes over a frictionless pulley. To one of its ends a mass of $6\, kg$ is attached. To its other end a mass of $10\, kg$ is attached. The tension in the thread will be ........ $N$.

Consider a body of mass $3\,kg$ at rest on a smooth horizontal table. This body is connected by a light string,which passes over a smooth pulley at the edge of the table,to another body of mass $2\,kg$ hanging freely. This $2\,kg$ mass is released from rest. Now consider the following statements:
$(A)$ The masses remain at rest.
$(B)$ The $3\,kg$ mass moves uniformly while the $2\,kg$ mass moves with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(C)$ Both bodies move with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(D)$ The tension in the string near the first body is more than that near the second body.
$(E)$ The tension in the string is $\frac{6g}{5}\,N$.
Then the correct statements are:

Three masses of $1\, kg$,$6\, kg$,and $3\, kg$ are connected to each other with threads and are placed on a table as shown in the figure. The acceleration with which the system is moving is $....... \, ms^{-2}$. (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

$A$ uniform metal chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. It is released from rest with a part of its length $l$ hanging on one side and the rest of its length $L - l$ hanging on the other side of the pulley. At a certain point in time,when $l = \frac{L}{x}$,the acceleration of the chain is $\frac{g}{2}$. The value of $x$ is ........
