The arrangement shown in figure is in equilibrium with all strings vertical. The end A of the string is tied to a
ring which can be slid on the horizontal rod. Pulley P1 is rigidly fixed but P2 can move freely. A mass m is
attached to the centre of pulley P2 through a thread. Pulleys and strings are massless.
(A) If A is moved slowly to the right, m will move to the right and upwards
(B) If A is moved slowly to the right, M will move upwards
(C) A can have such an acceleration that M has an acceleration upward but m does not have any
acceleration (at that instant).
(D) A can have such an acceleration that M has an acceleration downward but m does not have any
acceleration (at that instant).

QUIZ
A body A weighing W1 descends down on an inclined plane D, which makes an angle α with the horizontal,
and pulls a load B that weighs W2 by means of a weightless and inextensible thread passing over a small light
pulley C, as shown in figure. If the horizontal component of the force is 20K (in newton) with which the

inclined plane D applied on the floor corner E. Find the value of K. (Take α = 37°, W1 = 40 N, W2 = 20 N,
neglect friction)
