Important Questions on Laws of Motion

A heavy block kept on a frictionless surface and being pulled by two ropes of equal mass as shown in figure. At , the force on the left rope is withdrawn but the force on the right end continues to act. Let and be the magnitudes of the forces by the right rope and the left rope on the block, respectively.

A block is dragged on smooth plane with the help of a rope which moves with velocity . The horizontal velocity of the block is

Two masses are connected by a string which passes over a pulley accelerating upward at a rate as shown. If and be the acceleration of bodies and , respectively, then:

In the arrangement shown in figure. the ends and of an unstretchable string move downwards with uniform speed . Pulleys and are fixed. Mass moves upwards with a speed.

A system is shown in the figure. A man standing on the block is pulling the rope. Velocity of the point of string in contact with the hand of the man is downwards. The velocity of the block will be: [Assume that the block does not rotate]

A rod is shown in figure. End of the rod is fixed on the ground. Block is moving with velocity towards right. The velocity of end of rod when rod makes an angle of with the ground is:

System is shown in figure and wedge is moving towards left with speed . Then velocity of the block will be:
