A heavy cart is pulled by a constant force F along a horizontal track with the help of a rope that passes over a fixed pulley, as shown in the figure. Assume the tension in the rope and the frictional forces on the cart remain constant and consider motion of the cart until it reaches vertically below the pulley. As the cart moves to the right, its acceleration

A set of n identical cubical blocks lies at rest parallel to each other along a line on a smooth horizontal surface. The separation between the near surfaces of any two adjacent blocks is L .
