The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle \(\theta\) should be: 
     
1. \(0^\circ\)
2. \(30^\circ\)
3. \(45^\circ\)
4. \(60^\circ\)

A string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass m supports a block of mass M as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by:
                 

1. $\sqrt{2}Mg$

2. $\sqrt{2}mg$

3. $\sqrt{{(M+m)}^2+m^2}g$

4.$\sqrt{{(M+m)}^2+M^2}g$

A pulley fixed to the ceilling carries a string with blocks of mass m and 3 m attached to its ends. The masses of string and pulley are negligible. When the system is released, its centre of mass moves with what acceleration 

(1) 0

(2) g/4

(3) g/2

(4) –g/2

A block B is placed on top of block A. The mass of block B is less than the mass of block A. Friction exists between the blocks, whereas the ground on which block A is placed is assumed to be smooth. A horizontal force F, increasing linearly with time begins to act on B. The acceleration a_A and a_B of blocks A and B respectively are plotted against t. The correctly plotted graph is:

A particle of mass m, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force F for a brief interval of time T. It begins to move with a velocity u after the force stops acting. F is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is an ellipse.
