IMPORTANT

A light string goes over a frictionless polley. At its one end hangs a mass of 2 kg and at the other end hangs a mass of 6 kg. Both the masses are supported by hands to keep them at rest. When the masses are released, they being to move and the string gets taut. (Take g=10 m s-2) The tension in the string during the motion of the masses is :

A block of mass m lies on wedge of mass M, which lies on fixed horizontal surface. The wedge is free to move on the horizontal surface. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied on block as shown, neglecting friction at all surfaces, the value of force F such that block has no relative motion w.r.t. wedge will be : (where g is acceleration due to gravity)

Figure shows a 5 kg ladder hanging from a string that is connected with a ceiling and is having a spring balance connected in between. A boy of mass 25 kg is climbing up the ladder at acceleration 1 m s-2. Assuming the spring balance and the string to be massless and the spring to show a constant reading, the reading of the spring balance is (take g=10 m s-2 )
