The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium,the angle $\theta$ should be:

$A$ 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 ........

Two weights $W_1$ and $W_2$ are tied to a massless string and passed over a pulley. If the pulley is accelerated upwards with an acceleration $g$,what will be the tension in the string?

$A$ uniform rope of mass $M$ and length $L$ is fixed at its upper end vertically from a rigid support. The tension in the rope at a distance $l$ from the rigid support is:

To paint the side of a building,a painter normally hoists himself up by pulling on the rope $A$ as shown in the figure. The painter and platform together weigh $200 \, N$. The rope $B$ can withstand a maximum tension of $300 \, N$. Then:

The same spring is attached to $2 \ kg, 3 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ blocks in three different cases as shown in the figure. If $x_1, x_2$ and $x_3$ are the extensions in the spring in these cases,respectively,find the correct relation between them.
