Two identical masses $m$ are connected to a massless string which is hung over two frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. If everything is at rest,what is the tension in the cord?

  • A
    less than $mg$
  • B
    exactly $mg$
  • C
    more than $mg$ but less than $2mg$
  • D
    exactly $2mg$

Both the blocks shown in the figure have mass $m$ and are moving with constant velocity in the directions indicated. They are in a resistive medium which exerts an equal constant force $F$ on both blocks in the direction opposite to their velocity. The tension in the string connecting them is: (Neglect friction)

$A$ block of mass $1\,kg$ is suspended by a string of mass $1\,kg$ and length $1\,m$ as shown in the figure. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$. Calculate the tension (in $N$) in the string at its lowest point.

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:
