As shown in the figure,two equal masses each of $2\, kg$ are suspended from a spring balance. The reading of the spring balance will be ......... $kg$.

Two masses $m_1 = 5\, kg$ and $m_2 = 4.8\, kg$ tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the masses when they are free to move is $...........\, m/s^2$. $(g = 9.8\, m/s^2)$

In the arrangement shown,the pulleys are fixed and ideal,the strings are light,$m_1 > m_2$ and $S$ is a spring balance which is itself massless. The reading of $S$ (in units of mass) is

Consider a situation in which both the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the block $M_0$ are smooth,as shown in the adjoining figure. $A$ force $F$ is applied to $M_0$. Mark the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is hanging from a pulley inside a car by a string. The other end of the string is held by a person standing in the car. The car is moving with a constant horizontal acceleration '$a$' as shown in the figure. The other end of the string is pulled with a constant acceleration '$a$' vertically downward. The tension in the string is equal to-

$A$ light spring balance hangs from the hook of another light spring balance,and a block of mass $M \, kg$ hangs from the lower one. Which of the following statements is true regarding the scale readings?
