Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

Two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure $(a)$,the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In figure $(b)$,$m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$. The accelerations of $m$ in the two cases are respectively:

Two beads connected by a massless inextensible string are placed over a fixed ring as shown in the figure. The mass of each bead is $m$,and there is no friction between bead $B$ and the ring. Find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction between bead $A$ and the ring so that the system remains in equilibrium. ($C$ is the center of the ring,and the line $AC$ is vertical.)

$A$ car of mass $500\, kg$ is driven with acceleration $1\, m/s^2$ along a straight level road against a constant external resistance of $1000\, N$. When the velocity is $5\, m/s$,the rate at which the engine is working is .............. $kW$.

$A$ metallic block of mass $20 \ kg$ is dragged with a uniform velocity of $0.5 \ ms^{-1}$ on a horizontal table for $2.1 \ s$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is $0.10$. What will be the maximum possible rise in temperature of the metal block if the specific heat of the block is $0.1 \ cal \ g^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? Assume $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and a uniform rise in temperature throughout the whole block. [Ignore absorption of heat by the table]

Block $B$ of mass $100 \ kg$ rests on a rough surface with a friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of mass $25 \ kg$ can climb the rope without making the block move is:
