20. Three masses of 1 kg, 6 kg and 3 kg are connected to 23.

23. Figure shows four blocks that are being pulled along a
each other by threads and are placed on table as smooth horizontal surface. The mssses of the blocks
shown in figure. What is the acceleration with which and tension in one cord are given. The pulling force F is :
the system is moving ? Take g = 10 m s–2:
F
30N
60º 4kg 3kg 2kg 1kg

(A) 50 N (B) 100 N

(C) 125 N (D) 200 N

24. A10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs

(A) Zero (B) 1 ms–2 over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg
(C) 2 m s–2 (D) 3 m s–2 package on the ground. The magnitude of the least
acceleration the monkey must have if it is to lift the
21. The pulley arrangements shown in figure are identical package off the ground is :
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 the rope. In case II, the mass m is lifted by
pulling the other end of the rope with a constant
downward force F= 2 mg, where g is acceleration due
to gravity. The acceleration of mass in case I is :

(A) 4.9 m/s2 (B) 5.5 m/s2

(C) 9.8 m/s2 (D) none of these

25. Two blocks, each of mass M, are connected by a

massless string, which passes over a smooth

massless pulley. Forces F act on the blocks as shown.
(A) Zero The tension in the string is :
(B) More than that in case II
(C) Less than that in case II
(D) Equal to that in case II

22. A 50 kg person stands on a 25 kg platform. He pulls

massless rope which is attached to the platform via
the frictionless, massless pulleys as shown in the
figure. The platform moves upwards at a steady velocity (A) Mg (B) 2 Mg
if the force with which the person pulls the rope is : (C) Mg + F (D) none of these
26. Two blocks of mass m each is connected with the
string which passes over fixed pulley, as shown in figure.
The force exerted by the string on the pulley P is :

(A) 500 N (B) 250 N

(A) mg (B) 2 mg
(C) 25 N (D) 50 N
(C) 2 mg (D) 4 mg
