    $m_1g$
  • B
    $m_2g$
  • C

$A$ hanging mass $M$ is connected to a four times larger mass $(4M)$ by using a string-pulley arrangement as shown in the figure. The larger mass is placed on a horizontal ice slab and is being pulled by a $2Mg$ force. In this situation,the tension in the string is $\frac{x}{5}Mg$. Find the value of $x$. Neglect the mass of the string and the friction between the block (larger mass) and the ice slab. (Given $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

$A$ 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

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 ........... $m/s^2$. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

$A$ light unstretchable string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{g}{8}$,then the ratio of the masses $\frac{m_2}{m_1}$ is:
