$A$ uniform chain of length $2L$ is hanging in equilibrium over a small,smooth pulley. If end $B$ is given a slightly downward displacement $x$,the imbalance causes an acceleration. The acceleration of the chain when it has been displaced by distance $x$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{x}{L} g$
  • B
    $\frac{2x}{L} g$
  • C
    $\frac{x}{2} g$
  • D
    $g$

$A$ painter is applying force himself to raise him and the box with an acceleration of $5\, m/s^2$ by a massless rope and pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The mass of the painter is $100\, kg$ and that of the box is $50\, kg$. If $g = 10\, m/s^2$,then:

$A$ block of mass $10 \ kg$ is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a cord which passes over two light frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The hanging block tied to the other end of the cord is initially at rest $2 \ m$ above the horizontal floor. If the hanging block strikes the floor $2 \ s$ after the system is released,then the weight of the hanging block is ....... $(g=10 \ ms^{-2})$ (in $N$)

$A$ pulley fixed to the ceiling carries a string with blocks of mass $m$ and $3m$ attached to its ends. The masses of the string and pulley are negligible. When the system is released,what is the acceleration of its centre of mass?

Two identical blocks each of mass $M$ are attached to the ends of a massless inextensible string which passes over a pulley with a fixed axis as shown below. $A$ small mass $m$ is now placed on block $B$ (the right block). The acceleration with which the two blocks move together is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

Two blocks of masses $1\,kg$ and $5\,kg$ are attached to the ends of a massless string passing over a pulley of negligible weight. The pulley itself is attached to a spring balance as shown in the figure. The blocks start moving; during this interval,the reading of the spring balance will be:
