A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $${m_1}$$ and $${m_2}$$ (vertically). If the acceleration of the system is $$\frac{g}{8},$$ then the ratio of the masses is
For mass $${m_1}$$
$${m_1}g - T = {m_1}a$$ For mass $${m_2}$$
$$T - {m_2}g = {m_2}a$$
Adding the equations we get
$$\eqalign{
& a = \frac{{\left( {{m_1} - {m_2}} \right)g}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{1}{8} = \frac{{\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} - 1}}{{\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} + 1}} \Rightarrow \frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} + 1 = 8\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} - 8 \Rightarrow \frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} = \frac{9}{7} \cr} $$

Given in the figure are two blocks $$A$$ and $$B$$ of weight $$20N$$ and $$100N,$$ respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force $$F$$ as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.1 and between block $$B$$ and the wall is 0.15, the frictional force applied by the wall on block $$B$$ is:
Assuming both the blocks are stationary
$$N = F$$
$$\eqalign{
& {f_1} = 20\,{\text{N}} \cr
& {f_1} = 100 + 20 = 120\,N \cr} $$
Considering the two blocks as one system and due to equilibrium $$f = 120 N$$

Consider a car moving on a straight road with a speed of $$100m/s .$$ The distance at which car can be stopped is

The string between blocks of mass $$m$$ and $$2m$$ is massless and inextensible. The system is suspended by a massless spring as shown. If the string is cut find the magnitudes of accelerations of mass $$2m$$ and $$m$$ (immediately after cutting)
In situation 1, the tension $$T$$ has to hold both the masses $$2m$$ and $$m$$ therefore,
$$T = 3mg$$
In situation 2, when the string is cut, the mass $$m$$ is a freely falling body and its acceleration due to gravity is $$g.$$
For mass $$2m,$$ just after the string is cut, $$T$$ remains $$3mg$$ because of the extension of string.
$$\therefore 3mg - 2mg = 2m \times a\,\,\,\,\therefore \frac{g}{2} = a$$

Two blocks $${m_1} = 5\,gm$$ and $${m_2} = 10\,gm$$ are hung vertically over a light frictionless pulley as shown here. What is the acceleration of the masses when they are left free?
Let $$T$$ be the tension in the string.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 10g - T = 10a\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& T - 5g = 5a\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Adding (i) and (ii),
$$5g = 15a \Rightarrow a = \frac{g}{3}m/{s^2}$$

A triangular block of mass $$M$$ with angles $${30^ \circ },{60^ \circ },$$ and $${90^ \circ }$$ rests with its $${30^ \circ } - {90^ \circ }$$ side on a horizontal table. A cubical block of mass $$m$$ rests on the $${60^ \circ } - {30^ \circ }$$ side. The acceleration which $$M$$ must have relative to the table to keep $$m$$ stationary relative to the triangular block assuming frictionless contact is
