Calculate the acceleration of mass and the tension in the string connecting to mass, shown in the figure (the strings are weightless and inextensible; the pulleys are weightless and frictionless).

Take acceleration due to gravity as .

Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. One is of mass and the other of mass . A force is applied on as shown in the figure. Now, the same force is applied from the right on . In the two cases, respectively, the ratio of forces of contact between the two blocks will be

Two forces of and are acting on the two blocks of and kept on a frictionless floor, respectively. What is the force exerted on the block by the block?

A homogeneous smooth sphere rests on incline and bears against the smooth vertical wall . The contact forces at and , respectively, are (assume ).

Two smooth spheres and each of radius and weight rest on one another inside a fixed smooth cylinder of radius . The reactions between the spheres and the vertical side of the cylinder, respectively, are

A cylinder of mass and radius is resting on two corner edges and as shown in the figure. The normal reaction at the edges and , respectively, are (neglect friction)

In all the given cases, blocks are at rest and in contact. The forces applied are as shown. All the surfaces are smooth. Then, in which of the following cases normal reaction the two blocks is zero?
