In the arrangement shown in the figure,if the blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are released from rest,find the tension in the string. (Given: $\mu_1 = 2/3$ for mass $m$,$\mu_2 = 1/3$ for mass $2m$,the string is massless and inextensible,and the pulley is frictionless.)

The mass of a hydrogen molecule is $3.32 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$. If $10^{23}$ hydrogen molecules strike,per second,a fixed wall of area $2 \ cm^2$ at an angle of $45^\circ$ to the normal,and rebound elastically with a speed of $10^3 \ m/s$,then the pressure on the wall is nearly:

$A$ particle of mass $m=1 \ kg$ moves in the $xy$-plane. The force on it at time $t$ is $F(t)=[2 \sin (\alpha t) \hat{i}+3 \cos (\alpha t) \hat{j}] \ N$, where $\alpha=1 \ s^{-1}$. At time $t=0$, the particle is at rest at the origin. Calculate the magnitude of its position vector $r$ (in $m$) and velocity vector $v$ (in $m/s$) at time $t=\frac{\pi}{2} \ s$.

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:
