The pulley arrangements in the figure (A) and (B) are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure (A), the mass m is lifted up by attaching a mass 2m to the other end of the rope. In figure (B), m is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force F = 2 mg . The acceleration of m is the same in both cases.

In figure (a), for the motion of mass m,
`T-mg=ma " "` ……..(1)
For motion of mass 2m figure (b)
`2mg-T=(2m)a " "` …..(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2), we get
`2mg-mg=2ma+ma`
`mg=3ma rArr a=(g)/(3)`
Case II :
In figure (c ) `T^(1)-mg = ma^(1)`
But `T^(1)=2mg`
`therefore 2mg-mg=a^(1)`
`therefore a^(1)=g`

The pulley arrangements shown in figure are identical, the mass of the rope being negligible. In case I the mass m is lifted by attaching a mass 2m to the other end of rope with a constant downward force F =2mg , where g is acceleration due to gravity The acceleration of mass m in case I is .

Figure shown two pulley arrangments for lifting a mass m . In case-1, the mass is lifting by attaching a mass 2m while in case-2 the mass is lifted by pulling the other end with a downward force F=2mg . If a_(a) and a_(b) are the accelerations of the two masses then (Assumme string is massless and pulley is ideal).

A man of mass m stands on a frame of mass M. He pulls on a light rope, which passes over a pulley. The other end of the rope is attached to the frame. For the system to be in equilibrium, what force must the man exert on the rope?

Figure a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at once end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in figure is stretched by the same force F. (a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ? (b) If the mass in figure and the two masses in figure are released free, what is the period of oscillation in each case?
