Consider a system of blocks X, A and B as shown in the figure. The blocks A and B have equal mass and are connected by a massless string through a massless pully. The coefficient of driction between block A and X or B and X is 0.5. If block X moves on the horizontal frictionless surface what should be its minimum acceleration such that blocks A and B remain stationary. (g = acceleration due to gravity.)

A man in a lift feels an apparent weight W when the lift is moving up with a uniform acceleration of 1/3rd of the acceleration due to gravity. If the same man were in the same lift now moving down with a uniform acceleration that is 1/2 of the acceleration due to gravity, then his apparent weight is

In the figure shown acceleration with which the mass m falls down when released is ( consider the string to be massless g-acceleration due to gravity )
