$A$ small ball $B$ of mass $m$ is suspended with a light inelastic string of length $L$ from a block $A$ of the same mass $m$,which can move on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by an angle $\theta$ from the equilibrium position and then released. The tension in the string when it is vertical is:

  • A
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg(2 - \cos \theta)$
  • C
    $mg(3 - 2 \cos \theta)$
  • D
    None of these

Two wedges each of mass $600 \ g$ are placed next to each other on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the wedges and the surface is $0.4$. $A$ cube of mass $M$ is balanced on the wedges as shown in the figure. If there is no friction between the cube and wedges,the largest mass $M$ of the cube that can be balanced without motion of the wedges is . . . . . . $kg$.

From Newton's second law of motion,it can be inferred that

$A$ body of mass $3 \, kg$ hits a wall at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the wall and returns at the same angle. The speed of the body is $10 \, m/s$ and the impact time is $0.2 \, s$. Calculate the force exerted on the wall.

In the given system,if $M_2 = 2M_1$,the tension in the string is $T$. If the positions of the blocks are interchanged,what will be the new tension in the string?

$A$ block of mass $2M$ is attached to a massless spring with spring-constant $k$. This block is connected to two other blocks of masses $M$ and $2M$ using two massless pulleys and strings. The accelerations of the blocks are $a_1, a_2$ and $a_3$ as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest with the spring in its unstretched state. The maximum extension of the spring is $x_0$. Which of the following option$(s)$ is/are correct? [$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Neglect friction]
