Laws of Motion
A light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses $$0.36\ kg$$ and $$0.72\ kg$$. Taking $$g = 10 m/s^{2}$$, find the work done (in joules) by the string on the block of mass 0.36 kg during the first second after the system is released from rest.

Three equal weights of $$3 kg$$ each are hanging on a string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in figure. The tension in the string between masses II and III will be (Take $$g=10m/sec^2$$):

Two masses $${M}_{1}=5kg$$ and $${M}_{2}=10kg$$ are connected at the ends of an inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown. When the masses are released, then the acceleration of the masses will be:

A table with smooth horizontal surface is placed in a cabin which moves in a circle of large radius R (figure 7-35) A smooth pulley of small radius is fastened to the table. Two masses m and 2m placed on the table are connected through a string going over the pulley. Initially the masses are held by a person with the strings along the ouward radius and then the system is released from rest Find the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the masses as seen from the cabin and the tension in the string
