$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

$A$ 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 of $1\, kg$ 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 light spring balance as shown in the figure. When the masses are released and start moving,the reading of the spring balance will be:
