Two men of unequal hold to the two sections of a light rope passing over a smooth light pulley. Which of the following are possible ?

Two monkeys A and B are holding on the two sides of a light string passing over a smooth pulley.Mass of A and B are 6kg and 10 kg respectively. A holds the string tightly and B goes down with an acceleration 4m/s^(2) relative to string.Find the weight that A feels of his own body.

Two men A and B each of mass m sit in light cages at the ends of a light flexible rope passing over a smooth pulley . Initially they are at rest . A being higher than B by it . Suddenly a mass m/10 is handed over to B which he immediately throws up to A . Prove that by the time A catches the thrown mass , he moves up by a distance 2h/19 and that he stops ascending after he has ascended a total distance 59h/361.

Two unequal masses are connected on two sides of a light string passing over a light and smooth pulley as shown in figure. The system is released from rest. The larger mass is stopped for a moment, 1.0 s after the system is set into motion. The time elapsed before the string is tight again is (g=10 m//s^(2))

Two unequal masses of 1 kg and 2 kg are attached at the two ends of a light inextensible string passing over a smooth pulley as shown in figure. If the system is released from rest, find the work done by string on both the blocks in 1 s. (Take g = 10 ms^(-2) )

Two masses m and M(gt m) are joined by a light string passing over a smooth light pulley. The centre of mass of the system moves with an acceleration

Two weights w_(1) and w_(2) are suspended from the ends of a light string passing over a smooth fixed pulley. If the pulley is pulled up at an acceleration g , the tension in the string will be
