Two bodies of masses 1 kg and 2 kg are connected by a very light string passed over a clamped light smooth pulley. If the system is released from rest, find the acceleration of the two masses and the tension in the string

Four blocks A, B, C and D of masses 6 kg, 3 kg, 6 kg and 1kg respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings P and Q are horizontal. The coefficient of friciton between the horizontal surface and the block B is 0.2 and the blocks A and B move together. If the system is released from rest then the tension in string Q is (Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 ms^(-2) )

Two unequal masses are connected by a very light string over a clamped light smooth pulley. Find the acceleration of the system and the tension in the string.

Figure shows two blocks, each of mass 2kg, connected by a string passing over two pulleys. One block rests on a smooth horizontal surface and the other blockhangs vertically. Assume pullyes to be frictionless and massless. What is the tension in the string?
