Solve by difficulty
Two masses m1 = 5kg and m2 = 4.8 kg tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration (in m/s2 ) of the masses when lifted free to move?
( g = 9.8 m/s2 )
A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses m1 and m2 ( vertically) . If the acceleration of the system is g/8, then the ratio of the masses is
Two masses of 10 kg and 9 kg are connected by a string that passes over a smooth pulley; What is the tension in the string $\left(g=9.81 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)$

Three masses each of 4 kg are connected by a string that passes through a smooth pulley; Tension between mass b and c?
Direction : In the following question , a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R) . Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion : The tension force on a body always act away from the body.
Reason : Tension force are always pushing force.
Calculate the acceleration of the system as shown in the figure, assume all the surfaces are smooth
Two blocks of masses 5kg and 10kg are connected to a pulley as shown in fig. What will be the acceleration if the pulley is set free?

Three blocks, two are hanging and one is at the rest on the smooth horizontal table
$
\begin{aligned}
& m_1 a=m_1 g-T_1 \\
& m_2 a=T_2-m_2 g \\
& T_1-T_2=M a

$
\begin{aligned}
& a=\frac{\left(m_1-m_2\right) g}{m_1+m_2+M} \\
& T_1=\frac{m_1\left(2 m_2+M\right) g}{\left(m_1+m_2+M\right)} \\
& T_2=\frac{m_2\left(2 m_1+M\right) g}{\left(m_1+m_2+M\right)}
