Two masses, of and of are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a small, smooth, fixed pulley. Initially, the masses are held stationary and are then released.
Find the acceleration of each mass.

Two masses, of and of are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a small, smooth, fixed pulley. Initially, the masses are held stationary and are then released. The pulley is fixed to the wall of a lift. The lift is initially stationary. The lift has mass and a man of mass is travelling in the lift, along with the pulley system. There is nothing else in the lift. The lift starts to move upwards, from rest, by a tension in the lift cable of .
Find the acceleration of the lift.

Find the acceleration of each of and as viewed by a person standing stationary outside the lift.

A long slope makes an angle with the horizontal. box of mass is pulled up the slope by a rope that is parallel to the slope. The coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is At the top of the slope, the rope passes over a smooth pulley. A ball of mass hangs from the other end of the rope. The ball is initially above the ground. The system is released from rest.
Find how long it will take for the box to travel up the slope.
