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:

  • A
    $3g, g$
  • B
    $g/3, g$
  • C
    $g/3, 2g$
  • D
    $g, g/3$

$A$ point particle of mass $m$ moves along the uniformly rough track $PQR$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the rough track equals $\mu$. The particle is released from rest from the point $P$ and it comes to rest at a point $R$. The energies lost by the particle over the parts $PQ$ and $QR$ of the track are equal to each other,and no energy is lost when the particle changes direction from $PQ$ to $QR$. The values of the coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the distance $x (= QR)$ are,respectively,close to

$A$ $1\; kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100\; N m^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10\; cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
