$A$ rope of length $5\,m$ is kept on a frictionless surface and a force of $5\,N$ is applied to one of its ends. Find the tension in the rope at $1\,m$ from this end.

$A$ uniform metal chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. It is released from rest with a part of its length $l$ hanging on one side and the rest of its length $L - l$ hanging on the other side of the pulley. At a certain point in time,when $l = \frac{L}{x}$,the acceleration of the chain is $\frac{g}{2}$. The value of $x$ is ........

The pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical, and the mass of the rope is negligible. In case $I$, the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In case $II$, the mass $m$ is lifted by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration of mass $m$ in case $I$ is
