$A$ man uses two pulleys to raise himself with an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$,as shown in the figure. The man stands on a light weighing machine fitted on a horizontal platform. Determine the reading of the weighing machine. (Mass of man $= 75\,kg$,mass of platform $= 25\,kg$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$) (in $,N$)

Two blocks are connected by a string as shown in the diagram. The upper block is hung by another string. $A$ force $F$ applied on the upper string produces an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$ in the upward direction in both the blocks. If $T$ and $T'$ are the tensions in the two parts of the string,then $T$ and $T'$ are:

$A$ block of mass $M$ is hanging over a smooth and light pulley through a light string. The other end of the string is pulled by a constant force $F$. The kinetic energy of the block increases by $20\,J$ in $1\,s$.

$A$ mass of $100\,kg$ is moved with uniform velocity under the influence of force $F$. Find the force acting on the beam due to the string connected to the ceiling in $N$.

$A$ 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 center of mass?
