$A$ rope of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pulled by a constant force $F$ on a frictionless surface. What is the tension in the rope at a distance $x$ from the end where the force is applied?

  • A
    $\frac{FL}{x}$
  • B
    $\frac{F(L - x)}{L}$
  • C
    $\frac{FL}{L - x}$
  • D
    $\frac{Fx}{L - x}$

$A$ block of mass $M$ is kept on a platform which starts accelerating upwards from rest with a constant acceleration $a$. During the time interval $T$,the work done by the contact force on mass $M$ is

$A$ body of mass $8\,kg$ is hanging from another body of mass $12\,kg$. The combination is being pulled upward by a string with an acceleration of $2.2\,m/s^2$. The tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ will be respectively:

Three blocks of different masses connected with inextensible strings are pulled by a force $F$ on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The ratio of tensions $T_1$ to $T_2$ is

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If the surface between $M$ and $m_0$ has a coefficient of friction $\mu$,find the tension in the string,assuming the system moves together.
