$A$ uniform chain of length $2L$ is hanging in an equilibrium position. If end $B$ is given a slightly downward displacement,the imbalance causes an acceleration. Here,the pulley is small and smooth,and the string is inextensible. Find the velocity $v$ of the chain when it slips out of the pulley (height of pulley from floor $> 2L$).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{gL}{2}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2gL}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{gL}$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ light spring balance hangs from the hook of another light spring balance,and a block of mass $M \, kg$ hangs from the lower one. Which of the following statements is true regarding the scale readings?

$A$ 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 $N$)

$A$ loop of light inextensible string passes over smooth small pulleys $A$ and $B$. Two masses $m$ and $M$ are attached to the points $O$ and $C$ respectively. The condition that $m$ and $M$ will cross each other (given $AB = 2l$ and $AC = BC = \eta l$) is:

Two masses $8\; kg$ and $12\; kg$ are connected at the two ends of a light inextensible string that goes over a frictionless pulley. Find the acceleration of the masses and the tension in the string when the masses are released.
