1. Answer (2)
For P1
Let tension in string connecting m is T
As net force on pulley is zero. VM + VP2 = 0 …(1)
T For P2
So, tension in string connecting 2m is

we can Cleary observe that there is a pattern in V2M − 2VP2 + VP3 = 0
tension let anm represent acceleration of block n

Similarly 2VP = V4M + VP

2. Answer (1)

Let length of string between pulley and B is x.

2T sin60º = mg
So total length of string, L = 2 b2 + y 2 + x
mg
As total length of string is constant. T =

3. Answer (1)
Given figure 4. Answer (2, 3)
Let f2 and f3 is maximum value of static friction
between 5 kg, 10 kg and 10 kg, surface
So f2 =  5 g
= 0.2 ×5 ×10 N
= 10 N
f3 = 15 g = 30 N
Now, if external applied force changes Tension
Considering small mass dm at A in string may change so friction on 10 kg may
change with F.
we can say that tension in AC is equal to
tension in AE. Also if F  f2
Similarly, Tension DB is equal to Tension in BF i.e. F < 10 N
Also Taking small part of system at A and B and Then Tension in string is zero so in this case
spring we can say
Tension in AC = Tension in BD
= Tension AE
= Tension BF = T (let) Now if we increase F such that

Now FBD of Rod EF spring and block m. Tension in string, T > f2

then frictional force on 10 kg by the ground will From solution of question number 5
act towards left
Now if F = 100 N, Let magnitude of acceleration Just after string break
of both block is a Acceleration of A, aA = 2 m/s2 towards left
For 5 kg :
Acceleration of B, aB = 0.5 m/s2 towards right

After withdraw of external force, acceleration of

B, a2 = 2 m/s2 towards left
F – T – 10 = 5a ...(i)
For 10 kg As acceleration of A and B are constant

So its velocity time graph is as shown

T – f2 – f3 = 10a
T – 40 = 10a ...(ii)
F – 50 = 15a
50 10
a= m/s2 = m/s2
15 3
5. Answer (3)
FBD of A and B

Let P to Y time = t1

Y to W time = t2

We know slope of V–t graph is acceleration

As velocity is constant
RY
So, F = f1 + f2 so tan 1 = 0.5 =
t1
=  NA +  NB
F = 0.2 (5 mg)
RY = 0.5t1 ...(i)
F = mg
Now just after string breaks FBD of A RY
tan 2 = 2 =  RY = 2t2 …(ii)
t2

f So 0.5t1 = 2t2
So aA = 1 = g toward left = 0.2g toward left
m t1 = 4t2
FBD of B
Separation between them

= Area of OPRX + Area of RXZW + 1 m

mg − 4  mg 0.2 g Area of OPRX PY t
aB = = → As = = 1 =4
4m 4 Area of RXZW YW t 2
So acceleration of B w.r.t. A = aB – aA
 1 80
= 0.2g  1 +  So area of RXZW = = 20 m
 4 4
g 5 So separation between them = 80 + 20 + 1
= = m/s2
4 2 = 101 m
