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 g//8 , then the ratio of the masses is

Two block of masses m_(1) and m_(2) are connected as shown in the figure. The acceleration of the block m_(2) is:

Two masses m_(1) and m_(2) ( m_(2) gt m_(1)) are hanging vertically over frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the two masses is :

Two masses m_(1) and m_(2) are attached with light strings as shown. If the system is in equilibrium, find the value of theta

Three blocks of masses m_(1), m_(2) and M are arranged as shown in figure. All the surfaces are fricationless and string is inextensible. Pulleys are light. A constant force F is applied on block of mass m_(1) . Pulleys and string are light. Part of the string connecting both pulleys is vertical and part of the strings connecting pulleys with masses m_(1) and m_(2) are horizontal. {:((P),"Accleration of mass " m_(1),(1) F/(m_(1))),((Q),"Acceleration of mass" m_(2),(2) F/(m_(1)+m_(2))),((R),"Acceleration of mass M",(3) "zero"),((S), "Tension in the string",(4) (m_(2)F)/(m_(1)+m_(2))):}
