A pulley is attached to the ceiling of a lift moving upwards. Two particles are attached to the two ends of a string passing over the pulley. The masses of the particles are in the ratio 2 : 1. If the acceleration of the particles relative to the lift is g/2, then the acceleration of the lift will be


Important Questions on Laws of Motion
All surfaces are assumed to be frictionless. Calculate the horizontal force F that must be applied so that m1 and m2 do not move relative to m3 is :-


Two masses of 1 kg and 2 kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing over a pulley of negligible weight. The pulley itself is attached to a light spring balance as shown in figure. The masses start moving; during this interval the reading of spring balance will be:-

As shown in the figure a monkey of mass is holding a light rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. A bunch of bananas of the same mass is tied to the other end of the rope. In order to get access to the bananas, the monkey starts climbing the rope. The distance between the monkey and the bananas:-

The same spring is attached with , and blocks in three different cases as shown in the figure. If , and be the respective extensions in the spring in these three cases, then:-
