(A) Let the mass of block $A$ be $m_A = 4 \ kg$ and block $B$ be $m_B = 1 \ kg$. The initial vertical separation between their bottom edges is $6 \ m$ (based on the geometry of the system).From the Free Body Diagram $(FBD)$ of the blocks:For block $A$: $m_A g - T = m_A a \implies 4g - T = 4a \quad \dots(1)$For block $B$: $T - m_B g = m_B a \implies T - 1g = 1a \quad \dots(2)$Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$: $3g = 5a \implies a = \frac{3g}{5} = \frac{3 	imes 10}{5} = 6 \ m/s^2$.The acceleration of block $A$ relative to block $B$ is $a_{rel} = a - (-a) = 2a = 2 	imes 6 = 12 \ m/s^2$.To cross each other,the relative displacement required is $s_{rel} = 6 \ m$.Using the equation of motion $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$ with $u = 0$:$6 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} 	imes 12 	imes t^2$$6 = 6t^2 \implies t^2 = 1 \implies t = 1 \ s$.

In the figure shown,both blocks are released from rest. Find the time taken for them to cross each other. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When set free,$m_1$ moves downwards by $3 \ m$ in $3 \ s$. The ratio of $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is $(g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$.

Two bodies of mass $6 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are tied to a string as shown in the adjoining figure. If the table and pulley are frictionless,then the acceleration of the $6 \ kg$ mass will be $........ \ ms^{-2}$ $\left(g=10 \ ms^{-2}\right)$.
