Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $10\, kg$ and $15\, kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. If $T$ represents the tension in the string when a horizontal force $F = 500\, N$ is applied to $A$ (as shown in figure $I$) and $T'$ is the tension when it is applied to $B$ (figure $II$),then which of the following is true?

Three blocks of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected by massless strings as shown on a frictionless table. They are pulled with a force $F = 40 \, N$. If $m_1 = 10 \, kg, m_2 = 6 \, kg$ and $m_3 = 4 \, kg$,the tension $T_2$ (between $m_1$ and $m_2$) will be ........ $N$.

Two bodies of masses $10\; kg$ and $20\; kg$ respectively,kept on a smooth horizontal surface,are tied to the ends of a light string. $A$ horizontal force $F = 600\; N$ is applied to $(i)\; A$,$(ii)\; B$ along the direction of the string. What is the tension in the string in each case?

For the given figure,find the value of $m$ (in $kg$) for which the blocks have an acceleration of $\frac{8}{13}g$. The block on the incline has a mass of $100 \, g = 0.1 \, kg$ and the hanging block on the left has a mass of $50 \, g = 0.05 \, kg$. The surface is frictionless $(\mu = 0)$.
