A massless string passes over a frictionless pulley and carries mass m_1 hanging at one end and mass m_2 connected by another massless string to mass m_3 at other end as shown in figure. Calculate the tension in string joining masses m_2 and m_3 .

Two blocks are connected by a massless string that passes over a frictionless peg as shown in figure. One end of the string is attached to a mass m_1=3kg , i.e., a distance R=1.20m from the peg. The other end of the string is connected to a block of mass m_2=6kg resting on a table. From what angle theta , measured from the vertical, must the 3-kg block be released in order to just lift the 6kg block off the table?

"A mass is attached to one end of a spring and by holding the other end in hand, the spring is whirled in a horizontal circle" What happens to the length of the spring ?

As shown in figure a monkey of 20g mass is holding a light rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. A bunch of bananas of the same mass is tied to the other end of rope. Inorder to get access to the bunch the monkey starts climbing the rope. The distance between the monkey and the bananas is

Figure shows a closed container completely filled with an ideal liquid of density rho . In the liquid there is a spherical body of volume V and density sigma attached to a string whose other end is attached to the roof of the container. The container is accelerating with an acceleration 'a' towards right. The force exerted by the liquid on the spherical body when it is in equillibrium with respect to the liquid, will be :

A 20 kg monkey has a firm hold on a light rope that passes over a frictionless pulley and is attached to a 20 kg bunch of bananas. The monkey looks upwards , sees the bananas and starts to climb the rope to get them. (a) As the monkey climbs ,do the bananas move up , move down or remain at rest? (b) As the monkey climbs ,does the distance between the monkey and the banana decrease, increase or remain same? (c) The monkey releases her hold on the rope .What happens to the distance between the monkey and the bananas while she is falling ? (d) Before reaching the ground , the monkey grabs the rope to stop her fall. What will happen to bananas ?

Two ladders are hanging from ands of a light rope passing over a light and smooth pulley. A monkey of mass 2m hangs near the bottom of one ladder whose mass is M-2m. Another monkey of mass m hangs near the bottom of the other ladder whose mass is M-m. The monkey of mass 2m moves up a distance l with respect to the ladder. The monkey of mass m moves up a distance l/2 with respect to the ladder. The displacement of centre of mass of the system is (kml)/(4M) . Find the value of k.

A body of mass m is suspended from vertical spring and is set into simple harmonic oscillations of time period T. Next the spring is fixed at one end on a smooth horizontal table and same body is attached at the other end. The body is pulled slightly and then released to produce horizontal oscillations of the spring. The time period of horizontal oscillations is

A puck is moving in a circle in a circle of radius r_(0) with a constant speed v_(0) on a level frictionless table. A string is attached to the punk, which holds it in the circle, the string passes through a frictionless hole and is attached on the other end to a hanging object of mass M. The puck is mow made to move with a speed v' = 3v_(0) , but still in circle. The mass of the hanging object is left unchanged. The acceleration a' of the punk and the radius r' of the circle are now given by

A stone of mass m tied to a string of length l is rotated in a circle with the other end of the string as the centre. The speed of the stone is v. If the string breaks, the stone will move
