$A$ light string passing over a smooth light fixed pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $g / 8$,then the ratio of masses is

$A$ lift is going up. The total mass of the lift and the passenger is $1500\, kg$. The variation in the speed of the lift is as given in the graph. The tension in the rope pulling the lift at $t = 11\, s$ will be ............ $N$.

The tension in the string connected between the two blocks is ......... $N$.

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:

Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of the same mass,are attached by a thin inextensible string through an ideal pulley. Initially,block $B$ is held in position as shown in the figure. Now,block $B$ is released. Block $A$ will slide to the right and hit the pulley in time $t_A$. Block $B$ will swing and hit the surface in time $t_B$. Assume the surface is frictionless. [Hint: Tension $T$ in the string acting on both blocks is the same in magnitude. Acceleration needed for horizontal motion is provided by $T$.]

If the mass of block $B$ is $3\,kg$ and the mass of block $A$ is $7\,kg$,then the acceleration of the system is ........... $m/s^2$. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
